Celebrating Marcus Garvey and the Garvey Movement

The supreme visionary Marcus Garvey worked tirelessly to see
the Afrikan community flourish. He clearly identified base fundamentals required
and set about bring them into being. Amy Jacques Garvey reflects on some of his
realisations on the economic front:
“Where were [Afrikan] men’s factories to provide employment for their people? Why should [Afrikan] men always walk hat in hand begging [alien] men for jobs? It is because the [Afrikan] man is not economically self-reliant that he is kicked around, and gets the refuse; this is why he is treated with contempt, sometimes with pity, but never with respect as a race.
Up from his bunk Garvey rose, got his notebook, and added a co-title to his organisation – ‘Afrikan Communities League’”.
Garvey, never incarcerated in the realms of dislocated or detached theories and conception, brought his Afrikan community building apparatus into being.
“On July 31 [1918] the Afrikan Communities League was incorporated as a business corporation”.
Marcus Garvey sought to establish strong Afrikan community foundations, throughout the Afrikan world in order for this primary people to maximally ascend. In this, the thrust of Garveyism brought clarity to sometimes confused terms. Indeed, the alien forces of anti-anti agency sought to exploit any confusion amongst Afrikan souls intentionally induced or otherwise. The Afrikan community and mission to elevate the Afrikan community or having communality most certainly does not mean communism. Garvey insightfully put it this way:
“Communism is a [alien] man’s creation to solve his own political and economic problems. It suggests the enthronement of the [alien] working class over the capitalistic class of the race. It was conceived by [alien] men who were sympathy with the economic struggles of their own [alien] classes. It was never conceived and originally intended for the economic or political emancipation of the [Afrikan], but rather to raise the earning capacity of the lowest class of [alien] workers”.
Afrikan souls surely have an imperative duty to build their own communities throughout the world. Such natural self-determined effort is enriched with the multitude of tools, lessons and experience that come from mightily powerful examples such as that of the exceptional Marcus Garvey and the Garvey Movement.
Marcus Garvey did not see the challenges that faced his people and attempt to escape or abandon the very souls of his own being. No, he utilised his knowing, his skills in the best ways possible to realise Afrikan community rising. Every Afrikan soul can engage in this building process as they progressively transform themselves, establish Afrikan male-female unions of harmonious complementary and raise wholesome families with living knowingness of self.
Organs that work in the interest of global Afrikan ascension that genuinely support such integrity-filled and vital relations amongst its constituency such as the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation are highly recommended.
The observance of Musa Msimu takes place during the month of so-called August and is a wonderful time to celebrate the mighty example of Marcus Garvey and the Movement that he created led in order for future generations of Afrikans to have their guide for complete freedom and nationhood. Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
