- democracynow.org - Today we look at another request for a presidential pardon, this one from the family of Marcus Garvey, a pioneering figure in the Black Freedom struggle in the early 20th century who inspired generations of civil rights activists around the world. In the 1920s, FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover targeted Garvey for his political activity as a leader of the Pan-African movement. Garvey was convicted in 1923 on a charge of mail fraud and sentenced to five years in jail. His charges and conviction effectively ended Garvey’s political movement and eventually led to his deportation back to Jamaica. We speak to Marcus Garvey’s son, Dr. Julius Garvey, who is leading the Justice4Garvey effort.

I'm so happy to be blood-related to Marcus Garvey. 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
virtuous woman Lovechild he is undoubtedly the greatest black man that has ever lived. Unfortunately, he never had a chance to set foot in his continent (Africa).
Wow what a legacy! I went to Marcus Garvey African centered academy all through grade school. His teachings and philosophies have helped me into manhood.
He was an honorable man✊🏾
@@timcamer4702 Respectfully that title belongs to BOOKER T WASHINGTON!!!
Well did your uncle get pardoned
Are you for real???
Do not seek a pardon for Garvey. That would mean he is confessing to guilt. Rather, the charges must be expunged and his imprisonment must be repaired.
Marcus Garvey said "We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind. Mind is our only ruler; sovereign.
Hearing his voice after all these years is a rare treat, indeed. U can definitely tell he's speaking in the '20's. He's speaking in the cadence of the day.
Yeah i never heard his voice before either. First time.
Thee great great black warrior thee honorable Marcus Garvey that stood up for black people we must never forget we black people must unite together as one and be strong
I am going to look for a book on Marcus Garvey at the library. I need to learn more about this great leader.
@Sharing My Thoughts The man was a con man, selling pipedreams to naive blacks, using symbolism, nothing really good to say about the man.

Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey
@@leoerskine4256 ❤❤ I second that. Thank you for listing it. 🙏🏽
Marcus was Right on! Way ahead of his time, and not afraid to call out the colonial systems of the world!
@James Anderson Yes he was scamming his own way before others thought of scamming the naive black people.
Marcus Garvey is an American hero
Happy Eternal Birthday
King Marcus Garvey 💕

YES INDEED THIS IS A GREAT INTERVIEW "FOOD FOR THOUGHT" and indeed "TRUTH BE TOLD THE TRUTH"

Marcus being compared to a communist is disgusting slander
He was a fascist
He literally owned a cooperation and supported Booker T Washington economic ideas. Communist will take credit for everything.
been looking for some authentic audio of him for a very long time. God bless the ancestor mane
Three FBI agents dislike the video
Time to stop begging at some one else's table. so what we built the table and others provide the food on the table for them, they don't want to share the bounty. let's move on and build our own damn table.

Why didn't he help the people
I'n the islands who was looking
for someone like Garvey .We
in the states had leaders in our
communities .
And with all the many leaders you had, to day you are still wondering around like blind souls, hopelessly wishing for white folks to accept you all.
Sir you are ignorant of the history of Marcus Garvey. He started his work in Jamaica fighting oppression, colonialism, economic exploitation. He started a political party and a trade union. He constantly agitated for his people. He soon extended his work to the West Indies and Central America. On deportation he worked tirelessly for the poor and disenfranchised people of Jamaica and black people of the world. Obama did not pardon Garvey because of his cowardice and because he is not a black man. He is a solid member of the establishment and the wealthy elite.
Damn...it's sad to know you typed that .
@@howardfagan9177. You are so correct. 👍
Typical black American mentality, ignoring the contributions of Caribbeans, what would Dr King had done without Harry Belafonte who was of Jamaican heritage who helped bail him out of prison, and providing trustfunds for his children, ignorant black Americans.
J Edgar Hoover was a man of color or colour if you have a British background. Because he could pass for white he did.That is why,I believe, he especially treated Murcus Garvey and other black people harshly as he certainly didn't want to be outed as black. I have more European blood than African and can certainly pass as white but I don't but I wonder to myself if I had been around (even though I'm 66)in earlier times would I have passed as a matter of survival.
Pardon his son... immediately he is innocent.
He sounds like malcolm x..... B4 malcolm x!!
Yes he did ineed
Did Obama pardon him. That would be a shame if he didn't.
"We were the first facists"
-Marcus Garvey
Realistically during these modern times 95% of Jamaicans are not interested in reigniting back to Africa they are comfortable where they are. I will say the remaining 5 percentage are from the Rastafarian culture that still. Carry hopes and dreams of returning back to the mother land Africa 😢
Did Obama do it?
NO, DONT BELIEVE DEMOCRACY NOW THEY ARE DIS HONEST, CAUSE I REMEMBER THAT TRUMP NDID PARDONM SOME BLACK CELEB THAT WAS DONE WRONG IS A FACT, DEMOCRACY NOW IS A FRONT ORGANIZATION OF DECEPTION, WHY WE HAVE WHITE TALKING ON BEHAWVE OF US,
no
He almost got away with what he was doing .
I'm not holding my breath for Obama to do it, but under Trump, he will peel back the Department of Education stranglehold on the minds of the youths, and if blacks want to teach their kids about Marcus Garvey, they will have that choice.
Jonathan Cassidy Haha. Sure.
What??....I'm sorry ..my mind is still spinning from this f_ cked statement.
@@laquintabonds832 Well said.
Well, this hasn't aged well.
The Hon. Marcus Garvey never set foot in Africa
i admire very much about Mr Garvery. at the same time a lot of money from trusting people disappeared. Gravity was kid of railroaded. but he was foolish to mostly defend himself.
final thought--we all shouldn't spend so much time fussing and fighting about a dead man. living people are higher priority.
You stupid fool
Yea a jamacian who moved to u.s and Europe. Trying to convince the blacks in America to leave to a continent he himself never been too lol. If these are our leaders it explains why we still lost
What have you done to unite or uplift anyone.
Black People were complaining they didn't want to be in America, they were being mistreated as we all knew how racism rose from back then. He was basically doing them a favor. He never been there but at least he was standing with the african americans. Marcus Garvey had nearly 500 thousand people marching behind him in Harlem.
A man who understood how valuable African real estate and resources was even back then telling black people to go back to Africa.
@@Rockfort5590 o yea i know how valuable africa is. But the difference is i own property in nigeria and built relationships with people. Not practicing what you preach is what help create the so called conscious community. A community
really good at articulating how racist america is but have no solution. A community that profits of black peolpe misfortune.
@YaHUaH's Revelation School the idiot!
BS, TELL THE WHOLE TRUE,THE SON IS NOT SAME AS FATHER IS A FASCT, DONT BE DECEIVED,
