Obama has pushed all four of the below:
1.Restoration: "In order to release ourselves from the oppression of our enslavers then, it is absolutely necessary for the Afro-American to restore communication with Africa."
2.Reorientation: "We can learn much about Africa by reading informative books."
3.Education: "Devise original educational methods and procedures which will liberate the minds of our children. We will ... encourage qualified Afro-Americans to write and publish the textbooks needed to liberate our minds ... educating them [our children] at home."
4.Economic Security: "After the Emancipation Proclamation ... it was realized that the Afro-American constituted the largest homogeneous ethnic group with a common origin and common group experience in the United States and, if allowed to exercise economic or political freedom, would in a short period of time own this country. We must establish a technician bank. We must do this so that the newly independent nations of Africa can turn to us who are their brothers for the technicians they will need now and in the future."
5.Fight for the human rights of African Americans and promote cooperation among Africans and people of African descent in the Americas.
6. African Americans should always have the interests of other Africans foremost in mind on any action taken.
