“Until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned … until the colour of a man’s skin is of no more significance than the colour of his eyes; until the basic human rights are guaranteed to all, without regard to race … the African continent will not know peace.”Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia, at the General Assembly in 1963, later set to music by Bob Marley
