This article details Henrik Verwoerd's response to Harold Macmillan's "Wind of Change" speech made to the South African Parliament on February 1960. It talks about how the tendency in Africa for nations to become independent does justice to both the black and white man of Africa. According to Verwoerd, Europeans represent the white men of Africa, whom brought civilization to major portions of Africa with the present developments of black nationalists possible. This is where the Europeans have brought in education, way of life, industrial development, and Western ideals to the black natives. Therefore, Verwoerd believes that the Europeans have the fullest degree of involvement with the same full opportunities to remain with the white man who has made all these African developments possible.
