Description
2014 Reprint of Two Volume Edition, First Published from 1923 to 1926. Full facsimile of the unique edition. Not reproduced with OCR. This selection of Garvey’s writing remains essentially the most famous selection of Garvey’s speeches and essays. Marcus Garvey and the “Universal Negro Improvement Association” form a crucial link in black The us’s centuries-long struggle for freedom, justice, and equality. As the leader of the largest organized mass movement in black history and progenitor of the brand new “black is beautiful” ideal, Garvey is now easiest remembered as a champion of the back-to-Africa movement. In his own time he used to be hailed as a redeemer, a “Black Moses.” Although he failed to understand all his objectives, his movement still represents an attempt at liberation from the psychological bondage of racial inferiority.
