- Who Is Marcus Mosiah Garvey?
- Marcus Mosiah Garvey, one of the greatest leaders African people have produced, was born August 17, 1887 in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, and spent his entire life in the service of his people--African people. He was bold; he was uncompromising and he was one of the most powerful orators on record. He could literally bring his audiences to a state of mass hysteria. Garvey emphasized racial pride. His goal was nothing less that the total and complete redemption and liberation of African people around the planet. His dream was the galvanization of Black people into an unrelenting steamroller that could never be defeated. I consider myself, along with many others, as one of Garvey's children.
As a young man of fourteen, Garvey left school and worked as a printer's apprentice. He participated in Jamaica's earliest nationalist organizations, traveled throughout Central America, and spent time in London, England, where he worked with the Sudanese-Egyptian nationalist Duse Mohamed Ali. In 1916 Garvey was invited by Booker T. Washington to come to the United States in the hopes of establishing an industrial training school, but arrived just after Washington died. In March 1916, shortly after landing in America, Garvey embarked upon an extended period of travel. When he finally settled down, he organized a chapter of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. The UNIA & ACL had been formed in Jamaica in 1914. Its motto was "One God, One Aim, One Destiny," and pledged itself to the redemption of Africa and the uplift of Black people everywhere. It aimed at race pride, self-reliance and economic independence.
Within a few years Garvey had become the best-known and most dynamic African leader in the Western Hemisphere and perhaps the entire world. In 1919 Mr. Garvey created an international shipping company called the Black Star Line. By 1920 the UNIA had hundreds of divisions. It hosted elaborate international conventions and published a weekly newspaper entitled the Negro World.
No other organization in modern times has had the prestige and the impact as the UNIA & ACL. During the 1920s UNIA divisions existed throughout North, South and Central America, the Caribbean, Africa, Europe and Australia.
- About Me:
- The eldest of three children, I was born in Harlem, raised in South Bronx, Staten Island (all here in New York), and St.Croix, U.S. Virgin Islands. From childhood, I have always considered the sciences my primary interest of study, but I've always been an avid reader and seeker of knowledge. My father filled two large book cases for his children to peruse, and my mother always entertained and encouraged my yearning to learn and experience new things. My mother's greatest contribution to the development of who I became was the day she introduced me to two women who would forever change my life and put me on the road to self-discovery: Dr. Cassandra Dunn and Dr. Roseanne Bell, both formerly of the University of the Virgin Islands (UVI). While still in high school, I was participating in various community programs and events organized through UVI. Months before I would begin my first semester there, I became chairman of the Black History Committee, a position I held until the end of my second semester at UVI. During that time I have either invited to speak or interviewed Afrikan educators and organizers from Dr. Joseph Ben Jochannan to Kwame Ture. In 1984 I joined the Zulu Nation in Bronx, New York. In 1986, I joined a work-study group with the All-African Peoples Revolutionary Party (Virgin Islands chapter) and in 1987 work-study with Afrikan Nationalist Science (Brooklyn, New York).
The road I have taken towards evolving into what is commonly known as being a "conscious" Afrikan (Black) individual, has not been smooth all the way. With Black Consciousness comes a realization that life for our people is not quite what it ought to be, and that there are a plethora of issues that need resolving. Black Consciousness demands that we endeavor each day to resolve these issues, (first) within ourselves, families, communities, and ultimately, the Afrikan Diaspora. What makes this task more challenging are the personality disorders which conflict with our new-found philosophy, that usually stem from a less than ideal upbringing. This has been my experience, as I have strayed from my chosen path on more than one occasion.
I possess a sincere love and appreciation of life (when I'm not in one my occasional misanthropic moods), I love justice (balance), music, art; all of the things that make life worth living, I love. I despise artifice, deceit, ignorance, disrespect, and cowardice. I don't have many friends (not in the true sense of the word), but I have the best friends one could wish for.

Where can I get the 'translate to:' bar in the upper right?
I'm walking on two toes in my Kriolu-rap ning while I got so much to say. Would be great if original text is there to refer to. Well. 'Great' in comparison to other options.
I like the bar at the bottom.
I'm high tech busy too. In my 'chaorder'.
Here's my 3rd version of the BlackCat. It now has folding wings.
