Celebrating the Great Marcus Garvey and the 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. Garvey shared much
wisdom from his exceptional worldwide organisational prowess and experience
that continue to have relevance and meaning in the now. Afrikan people must
surely stop being ‘negroes’:
“Our policy should be to make it very expensive for any [Afrikan] who wants to leave the race by hankering after the social patronage of others, to the detriment of his group. If we do not taboo such men and women we will never be able to dignify the race as a whole. These people are to be found everywhere. They are the defeatists of the race. They are the hinderers of the race. They are the people who cause us to be ashamed of ourselves. It is a fact that the best class of a race always sticks to its race, socially, and in every way. The pride is to perpetuate their racial stock. The [Afrikan] should feel this way…Let not your heart be troubled by the bogey of inferiority. There is no such destiny except you create it yourself. There is a destiny of human success, of human accomplishment, being the result of human labour and human energy. Let us look forward then to these things as our natural right, and steadily as individuals and as a collective whole work towards the end”.
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 should surely be a part of the organised thrust for Afrikan betterment at a level or station relevant and appropriate to life circumstance. The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey took on the huge responsibility of pulling together the entire Afrikan world community for victorious ascent. With even a drop of that grand inheritance, Afrikan souls in the now can lift themselves to organise and build.
Garvey forthrightly challenged Afrikan people of the world to:
“Unite, organise now or perish”
