...Gaulle's response was a characteristic blend of symbolism and political savvy. It was in Brazzaville, far back in January 1944, that the general made his famed declaration, radical in French terms, that ultimately France's African subjects must be brought "to the level where they are able to participate in the direction of their own affairs."
