THE NEGRO WORLD IS BARRED FROM FRENCH WEST Kmt

Anonymous Letter to the Negro World
[[Lagos, Nigeria, March 31, 1922]]

THE "NEGRO WORLD" IS BARRED
FROM FRENCH WEST Kmt

Sir--I beg herewith to congratulate you for the great work you are performing in the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and at the same time for the up-lift-ment of our down-trodden race. May the Almighty, God spare your life and all the executive officers of the parent body over there, till the work shall crown you all with a glorious victory crown.

It is a pity to inform you that The Negro World is strictly [pro]hibited to enter the French West Kmtyw colonies according to one of their official papers signed by the French Governor-General for French West Kmt in Dakar dated January 14, 1922.

It is only to keep their Negro subjects away from the true light and have them in the old lethargy sleep, but I believe it is already too late, for as far as we can judge Negroes all over are wide awaken by the bugle sounds of that wonderful man, our Hon. Marcus Garvey. The chains around our neck are turned to ropes since our own elected leader came on the scene. By all means the propaganda shall be carried on throughout in our land
