Marcus Garvey - Garveyites And The Garveyism Movement (Black History Animated)

Marcus Mosiah Garvey, the master organiser, was born into Jamaica's colonial system and decided to fight for change. After reading Booker T Washington's autobiography, he was devoted to teaching the black community the importance of being self-reliant through education. He had high aspirations for building a worldwide organisation to empower people of African descent. His goals would inspire later leaders like Kwame Nkrumah, Steve Biko, and Malcolm X. Garveyism symbolised the transformation of how black people worldwide looked at themselves and their place in the world.

Garveyism taught that Black people would only be recognised when they were economically and spiritually strong, preached an independent Black economy within the structure of white capitalism, and inducted a black spiritual leader, a flag and a black national anthem. The UNIA established the Negro Factories Corporation, the Black Star shipping Line (1919) and a chain of businesses, including grocery shops, restaurants, a printing press, laundries and a hotel.

As today is Black Pound Day, it feels more than fitting for this video.

My Grandfather Dr. Alfred. C . Patterson was a Garveyite and worked tirelessly with Mr. Garvey while in Harlem. My Mother and Grandmother, Aunt and Uncle would always tell us of the time when they were away and returned home and my Grandfather had everything packed and was ready to leave on the Black Star Liner. I remember seeing the literature in my Grandparents apartment when I was a child.

"We believe that the White race should uphold its racial pride and perpetuate itself and that the Black race should do likewise. We believe there is enough room in this world for the various race groups to grow and develop by themselves without seeking to destroy the Creator's plan by the constant introduction of mongrel types." - Marcus Garvey
Written like a true Black National Socialist hero
