Marcus Mosiah Garvey

Whist forming the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Marcus Garvey had over 4 million black people under his leadership.

That is a phenomenal feat because Black people were just emerging from slavery, round about 50 years or so, and were disorganized as a people.

The tremendous vision of the man brought the creation of a new black state in Africa but unfortunately these efforts were thwarted by The USA and other Western Industrialized States.

There is so much that can be said about Daddy Marcus but one thing is for certain, blacks worldwide could do well with the manifestation of Marcus Mosiah Garvey, or someone cut from the same grain of cloth, in these modern times.

He did say look for him on the wings of the wind so perhaps there is hope for us after all.
