We talk about Marcus Garvey, but do you know him?

Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr
b. August 17, 1887 in Jamaica / d. June 1940
Visionary, Businessman, Speaker, Teacher

In 1914 Garvey helped create the United Negro Improvement Association. By 1920, the U.N.I.A. had 1,100 chapters in 40 countries. By 1926, the membership had grown to 11 million members. Garvey built the largest Black organization ever.

Garvey started news publications, "The Watchman" and "The Negro World", that reached hundreds of thousands of subscribers. He launched the UNIA's Black Star Line Steamship Corporation to establish and facilitate transportation and communication between Africans worldwide. He created the Negro Factories Corporation, which owned grocery stores, restaurants, tailor shops, and more.

In New York he owned buildings, a fleet of trucks, and employed over 1,000 Blacks in his businesses.

His vision was to enhance the self-image and pride of Blacks and Black communities, build schools, obtain independence for colonized African Countries, and 100% economic independence for African people across the world.

Garvey was a champion of the back-to-Africa movement, and continues to represent an unapologetic liberation from the psychological bo***ge of r.acism.

Kudos to the Great Marcus Garvey Jr.
