Garveyism and the Structure of Liberty (Part 7) – Order of Media and Communications

The supreme visionary, Marcus Garvey knew the inherent power Afrikan souls have when progressively working in structured order of ascension. For Garvey, Afrikan organisation is a natural imperative and he articulated this in a number of different ways. Using the structure and selected elements of the organisational framework from the Master Plan of Chancellor Williams, the derivation can be detailed thus:

Spiritual-Cultural Order

Order of Self-Governance

Order of Economic Planning and Development

Order of Education

Order of Intelligence and Security

Order of Media and Communications

The great hero, Marcus Garvey powerfully and insightfully articulated the following in relation to the element of the Order of Media and Communications:

“Propaganda means to propagate or to make known extremely some particular phase of human intelligence. The desire is to convert or influence the people to the acceptance of the truth of that particular intelligence that is sought to be spread among them.

Propaganda can be true or false in the origin or intent; but it is always directed at the public for the purpose of winning the support of that public to the sentiment expressed in the propaganda. If you hate a man, giving him a bad name well may explain one of the purposes of propaganda without truth behind it.

Nearly all organised efforts have a system of propaganda to convert people to their principles and get them to support them even though there may be no merit behind it all.

Propaganda is all around you…The press, cinema, pulpit, schoolroom are all propaganda agencies for one thing or the other. The pulpit carries religious propaganda, the schoolroom carries educational propaganda, the press carries out written propaganda, the platform carries on oral propaganda, the cinema carries out demonstrative propaganda”.

"Have your own newspapers, your own artists, your own sculptures, your own pulpits, your own platforms, print your own books and show your own motion pictures and sculpture your own subjects. Never accept as yours subjects of another race; but glorify all the good in yourselves.

Keep your home free and clear of alien objects of glorification of other races, otherwise your children will grow up to adore and glorify other people. Put in the place of others the heroes and noble characters of your own race". 

[The Garvey Movement] is now calling upon the 400,000,000 members of our race to discard the psychology and propaganda of all other peoples and to advance our race to discard the psychology and propaganda of all other peoples and to advance our own”.

Musa Msimu is a part of the Afrikan Cultural calendar of the Universal Royal Afrikan Nation (URAN).
