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’:

“The negro fights himself too much. His internal racial conflicts constitute the puzzle of our age. No one knows this better than I. As head of the largest [Afrikan] organisation ever organised, my experience has been one where the negro keeps up a fight against himself. He never agrees with himself for long. Every other day he is smashing up what he has made, and so the process goes on. He never permanently constructs. We now realise that [this] system takes us nowhere.

I have done my duty, I will still continue to do that duty, not by deceiving the [Afrikan] but by telling him the truth – the cold, blunt, truth, ‘so help me God’. I am vexed in soul, through the fools you have made of yourselves. My destiny is linked with you and you keep me down when I should be rising and be up. If you can understand this, you know how I feel toward every negro who hinders the progress of his race ”.

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”
