Bob Marley Interview with Patrick Barrat, 1980 in Tuff Gong, Jamaica
....
PB: Isn't Africa a bit a dream for you?
Bob: No, no, it's a reality.
PB: Will you go and live there one day?
Bob: Yeah man. We will all live in Africa one day, for even France will be Africa.
PB: How come?
Bob: But of course, France will be Ethiopia! When the french were in Africa, they used to control some places and declared them french. The times will change and France will belong to Africa. The tables are turning, but this time, there won't be blood, people won't be forced. They will agree. Africa is the fruit basket of the earth. It will unite without opressing the people for God loves Africa.

Everybody gits quiet and John stands near de door, and when dey starts to come in he grabs de shovel full of hot ashes and throws dem into de patterrollers faces. He gits through and runs off, hollerin', 'Bird in de air!'"

Why Rootz?
“The strongest bank in the United States will last only so long as the people will have sufficient confidence in it to keep their money there. In fact, the confidence of the people is worth more than money. The lack of confidence of the Negro in himself and in his possibilities is what has kept him down. His mis-education has been a perfect success in this respect.”
~Carter G. Woodson, The Mis-Education of The Negro
