Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and Garvey Movement

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey dedicated is entire being to the
betterment of the entire Afrikan world community. Far from being the
articulation of any shallow rhetoric, Garvey uttered profound words of wisdom of
mission-compelling substance to lift his people as whole. As a powerfully
important part of his eternally victorious mission this great hero empowered
Afrikan man to bring their natural magnificence to the fore. He eloquently,
challenged Afrikan men to lift themselves to mission compelling duty thus:
“It is unfortunate for any people to give themselves away entirely to believing that everything helpful to them must come from without, spiritually or physically. Man is as much a spiritual as a physical force, and there is no doubt that he, the individual, has responsibilities that cannot be shirked and which will not be assumed by any other individual or being, considering that he has the right to act on his own account. What is true of individuals is true of collective groups of individuals or races, so that what the individual should not expect for himself must follow naturally that the race or group of people should not expect for themselves”.
It is by no accident or happenstance that Marcus Garvey led into fruition the greatest most impactful organized body of Afrikan world souls ever to be made manifest. This is what the divine strength and power of Afrikan manhood can do. Afrikan men must surely cast aside and purge from their being the contaminants of alien ills and lift themselves according to their true genius filled, excellent and mighty nature.
Every Afrikan man regardless of social standing, level of wealth or whatever can look into his own mirror of self and bring to the fore the best of himself. This first man of human creation can shine his light of brilliance in the imperative thrust for global Afrikan ascension, applying himself at whatever relevant or appropriate level.
Garvey forthright challenged Afrikan men to:
“Be a man by doing the deeds of men”
