Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a Jamaican-born black nationalist and leader who advocated for the rights of people of African descent worldwide. He was born on August 17, 1887, in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica, and grew up in poverty.
Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914, which aimed to promote economic and political independence for black people. He advocated for black self-determination and encouraged black people to take pride in their African heritage and culture.
In the 1920s, Garvey established the Black Star Line, a shipping company that aimed to promote trade between black-owned businesses and create jobs for black people. The company ultimately failed due to financial mismanagement and government interference.
Garvey was arrested in 1923 for mail fraud related to the Black Star Line, and after serving time in prison, he was deported to Jamaica in 1927. He continued to promote black nationalism and Pan-Africanism throughout his life and founded the People’s Political Party in Jamaica in 1929.
Overall, Marcus Garvey was a significant figure in the black liberation movement and inspired many future civil rights activists and leaders. His ideas about black self-determination and pride in African heritage continue to influence black political thought and activism today.
