After going through videos about MLK, Malcolm X, Nelson Mandela and Haile Selassie, and seeing Marcus Garvey mentioned in every one of them, I just gotta check this guy out.
Garvey to the African diaspora: "if we all go back to the motherland we won't be exploited anymore!"
Colonized Africans: "um yeah, about that..."
😅😅😅😅 You are so right.
All the African leaders at that time were inspired by his philosophy. I still see him as President of Africa Love & Respect

Not the NAACP not WEB Dubois

@@brittanyhayes1043Keep on hating hater
Wow, beautiful history. This young generation need to know more of Mr. Garvey and the other important figures of our race ✊🏾💯
I like this history making in swahili language
Marcus Garvey was not controversial. Those who liked him, liked him. Those who did not, did not.
Yeah
😂😂😂😂Like everyone else
Thank you! The audacity!
I think you should invest more time into learning what controversial means
Pretending to be other people using the USA mail system. He could exercise all his right n talk that talk except break that law. Lol
Gravey was not flawed, he was the most powerful, forward thinking and greatest global leader the black world has ever seen. If the United states government had not chomped up false charges against him no tell what great heights he could have led Blacks to achieve. No one not even Malcolm X or MLK has done more for Black empowerment than the Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
Everything they talk about Marcus is some kind are brainwashed they setting u for we know who fight against Garvey they'll never say the system western media lies all in a nutshell
Are u stupid mlk and Malcolm x was fighting for black Americans rights and stop racist laws Marcus was fighting for us go africa
I will second that!
@@oj4499 yes you are right brother but those rights are government granted rights and not rights you are born with or birthrights
i love malcom but i defo agree with you on this! garvey was the first and best imho
I'm trying to learn more about him and all of them made it seem like he was some kind of crook.
Antwain Walton listen to speeches
They called him a crook to discredit him so that he couldn't teach blacks about their real history. How does one prevent blacks from gaining knowledge, strip them of their leaders
@@ladyd104 I don't think they are intentionally trying to hurt blacks for no reason. No one could get away with that in the first place without being publically exposed. Just look past it and there might be other reasons for the misinformation.
He was
@@ladyd104 it wasn't an accident he made money.
He was the first national hero that Jamaica has seen
He only served 2 years of a 5 year sentence in prison and was deported to Jamaica. Calvin Coolidge commuted his sentence. He was also framed. He did not receive justice in court.
Because he represented hisself! Which was not smart at that time
Have Black people EVER got a fair trail🤔
Calvin Coolidge know he was wrong for what he did to MG,they framed him. MG had the entire Harlem community behind his back. Even if a lawyer had represent Garvey,it still wouldn't make a difference. This was a time when racism in America was to the very top..
The Jews didn’t like Marcus Garvey cuz he was a nationalist
the great Marcus Garvey
Amen!
The racist who played himself.
Honor and Remembrance
Happy Birthday 🌍🇯🇲✊🏾
His spirit indeed still live on...... our appreciation sir
He wasn't even black
of course the law found a way to take him down for some bullshit though. It never fails.
His military men and women were compromised
My stepfather told me years ago that our great boxer is Jack Johnson and our great leader is Marcus Garvey.
Jack Johnson is not jamaican
@@oj4499 does not make a difference he was exile from jamaica trying to organize a union for workers is the reason why he came here and are you indigenous to Yamaica?
True indeed because we're descendants of Africa and Marcus knew this.
Marcus Garvey said he did not want to take all Black people to Africa. There are some who are no good here (meaning the USA) and would be no good there.
@None Ya Its true. He did say that and he was not wrong. There are people of all races who are no good (lazy) where they are and would hence be no good anywhere else.
Yup just like those two blk women talking about him...flawed leader...sounds like mockery😡

Happy Eternal Birthday King Marcus Garvey 💕
He was the King of Africa?
Flawed Leader? Im going to bite my tongue and keep it moving smh
Garvey WAS flawed. So was King. So was Malcolm X. So are ANY individuals who aspired or aspire to attain something greater. What it underscores is that "great" men and women are HUMAN...this fact makes their strides more remarkable, not less. Further, it supports a very real premise - it is not necessary to be a god or superhero...ANYONE can overcome flaws WE ALL HAVE to achieve remarkable things.
Putting people on pedestals, attempting to intimate that they were endowed with superhuman qualities, compromises the ability to fully appreciate how they overcame tremendous difficulties, can lead to not appreciating how truly difficult were the challenges they faced.
Getting angry about that comment in the video is very misplaced. Understandable, but misplaced. These people did not walk on water. They had to do it the hard way...and did it anyway.
Think about it.
everyone has flaws but Garvey's movement wasn't flawed. It was infiltrated and sabotaged - BIG DIFFERENCE
TranscendentalMental Malcolm x is in class by himself

Good to learn about black history
Nonsense
so cool
I tha K God for your bravery
Thanks
Is anyone here from Jamaica I just want to know if my brothers and sisters are relevant
He was a leo. WOW. I personally think his intentions were for the right reasons but not necessarily through all the appropriate connections. But subconsciously he wasn't aware of the effects it had when his main goal was to help blacks

He was sentenced to five years but served 2 years 9 months

Love your race.
Embrace racial and ethnic nationalism.
Who can govern a people better than one of those people?
I came to marcus garvey channel because of poet vevine goldson.
There was nothing controversial about Gravey, there was no contradiction everyone knew where he stood and what he stood for; neither did he appoint himself president of Africa. The delegates at the 1920 convention voted him President-General of the "Africa for Africans" movement. The idea was not to rule Africa but to setup a nation in Africa where if so choose Blacks globally could return to Africa to have a country to call their own.
He was the Jamaican Alex Jones.
Ben Den thats right and that convention took place at Madison Square Garden andcat that time it was on 50thst and was the largest convention ever held there
@@billyjacobs190 i give Alex Jones credit he did not just ait in his studio and talk he put the boots on the ground brave soul
He was racist.
Yes
No captions?
I SUBSCRIBED!!!
These people make Marcus Garvey look like he was a no good this is BS not the real truth
Right!!!! that’s what I was thinking
Nice
I've met Jamaicans that stated that they knew little of him now what does that tell you.
They did not grow up in Jamaica. He is a national hero and every august there are programs on tv.. The government could do better too.
@@annmariebusu9924 they WERE from Jamaica.
@@brucegrit8928 shame on them😐
I just remember that one of my cousins claimed not to know one of our national heroes from our parish. My family was shocked but blamed it on her age. I think she just wanted to forget Jamaica all together. Marcus Garvey is the most popular national hero. He had international acclaim and inspired the Rastafarian movement. He is known throughout the Caribbean and Africa. They should have at least known the basics. I can’t remember which bill he appears on.
They do not teach enough about Marcus Garvey in Jamaican schools.
Malcom X was inspired by the works and teaches of The Most Honorable Elijah Muhammad never get that twisted
True that but should have obeyed his command.
1:33 pause and read the sign
If Marcus Garvey should come back to life right now , with the same ideas of libertarian for Black peoples , they would frame him up ,and send him to prison the same way as they did back then , because the same mindset that framed him up is still with us today.
Me: Okay, this was an interesting video
Also me: [Looks at the comments] Oh ok
One love
Strange comment
Sun glasses in the studio 😆 🤣
Lol Crafty
According to this article in a Masonic Journal:
"During the final four years of his life, Garvey turned even more emphatically toward the Masonic ideal based on secret knowledge. With the defeat of Ethiopia in the Italo-Ethiopian War of 1935.... Garvey revised dramatically his previous estimates of what political movements alone could be expected to accomplish. Thus, he viewed as problematic the absence of "masonry in his [the Negro's] political ideals," noting that "there is nothing secret in what he is aiming at for his own hope of preservation." Garvey was alluding to the evolution of the fraternal idea from its earlier craft stage into a potent political vehicle, one based on the organization of secret revolutionary brotherhoods.
From the start, the UNIA shared numerous features with fraternal benevolent orders. The UNIA's governing Constitution and Book of Laws held the same status and function as Freemasonry's Book of Constitutions and Book of the Law. The UNIA's titular "potentate" was clearly analogous to the "imperial potentate" of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, or black Shriners. The High Executive Council of the UNIA and ACL reflected the Imperial Council of the black Shriners and the Supreme Council of Freemasonry in general. The elaborate and resplendent public displays by the UNIA, particularly during its annual conventions, drew upon the example of the black Shriners and other fraternal groups .... Other features shared with fraternal orders included solemn oaths and binding pledges, special degrees of chivalry (such as the Cross of African Redemption, Knight of the Sublime Order of the Nile, and Knight of the Order of Ethiopia)
So he was a Mason?
Happy Marcus Garvey Birthday-well written. Learned something.
The Ideology of Black Nationalism ,Pan-Afrikanism, and Black Power is NOT Masonic.
@@escapebabylon2766 No, he wasn't... The Hon. Marcus Garvey never said that he was a Mason and he never promoted Freemasonry in any of his teachings. If he was a Mason.... then J. Edgar Hoover of the Beuru of Investigation wouldn't have sent an Agent (J.J. Wormely) to infiltrate his organization... If Marcus Garvey was a Mason...The Government wouldn't have hired Black men to sabotage his Black Star Line ships, If Marcus Garvey were a mason...then W.E.B. Dubois would've helped him instead of hating on him. If Marcus Garvery were a Mason then, he wouldn't have gotten arrested and imprisoned on no trumped up charges... If Marcus Garvey were a Mason they (the Masons would've helped him) Instead of deporting him.
Its nothing wrong with that freemasonry is suppose to be utilize like that anyway because we were the first builders anyway including benjamin bey or banneker where are these brotherhoods today not building in the hood maybe for corporate or Academia Marcus Garvey had Liberty Halls as venues of teaching
It is sad how they address Garvey with contempt..His words are still relevant
this shows a lot to me
He wasn't even black
there's misinformation here compared to what I've heard from many sources. The holy spirit will guide all to see marcus garvey was 1 of the best heroes
In life sometimes you will have to align yourself with your enemy to help your people. Its business nothing personal .You cannot be a insular people. You need to form connections, affiliations, and associations. In the end we are the human race.
I'm dark as dark Bacardi, dark as Marcus Garvey, Sparks cigars that start the party - Crooked I
I like

What was his opinion on mixed relationshipss and mixed race people? Asking to clear up what ive seen on another video?
well for a start he wouldn’t have liked them lol. his ideas was for black nationalism, and for black ppl to be together and to seperate themselves from whites like the african for africans movement. idk what video you’ve been watching where he would’ve promoted such things, bc honestly garvey was heavily against it!
This video has several flaws in it... but still good 👍🏾

Hi dear friend
Marcus was Superior in Black thought.He knew that if we took the woke to Africa we could have something we haven't had here.🖤🖤🖤
Down with wokeism.
He was fame great Marcus Garvey by the WBBoys
Why all the negatives ???
Where are his family members?
I wish he fulfilled his aspirations, return the Africans to Africa, though I doubt those black ladies who spoke so well of him would have thanked him for it.
Governments were trying to stop him. He was said to have over 1100 books. I have read some. But through different titles I had only seen about 32. Ran across used text books of his. They wanted 1800 for it wasn't In good condition and had missing pages. That right there may tell you they were keeping him away from teaching his people
These people talk about g
Garvey is a real shame they paint him to look like a villain

Why ?
@@beverlyann111 Because Garvey was black and Dubois was from the light skinned elite.
