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:
“We are looking forward to a time of sober activity when no detail will be overlooked, when every precaution will be taken to see that nothing is miscarried, but that everything points to the one object – that of the triumph of our programme, leading to the complete emancipation of our race, commercially, industrially, educationally, politically, socially, religiously, and in every way. Every unit of the race imbued with the spirit of service should lend assistance and cooperation to the [Garvey Movement]. Executively we have no time for non-essentials. We are determined not to encourage conflicts and divisions within the [Movement] or within the race. The new programme must be put over on its own merit to those that may be sceptical. Those who represent the [Movement], therefore, should be shining examples in good conduct in their respective communities. It is by their conduct that those who are outside the organisation will have faith in us. That is why we want no alliance with any scamp, rascal, villain or trickster, such as flocked to our banners in the early days of the organisation’s glory. For goodness sake, keep out. Join other organisations, create your own, if you want but leave the [Garvey Movement] alone to carry out its programme”.
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”
