Marcus Garvey (August 17, 1887-June 10, 1940) was a charismatic Jamaican-born political leader, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator.

Inspirational!

The vision this man had for people of color is unmatched today. In was so insprational it brought many people together that shared one mindset, FREEDOM! How we need that vision today.

Speechless and troubled for my ignorance.

why have I forsaken science, true religion, in search of a worldly, new hero, when the world has made heros such as this, that I too, might become heroic, if only I would seek to learn what men like this would teach?

so much said in so few words here recorded, what empowerment must have accompanied the human in the presence of the genuine article? why have we forgotten to seek our own saving, nay uprising, to a place not inferior to equals?

Marcus Garvey delivers a word…

… and it still cuts like fire.

Listening to this, I felt inspired, wistful, sad, indignant, depressed, and yes, still hopeful.
