Remembering Old Marcus Garvey
122 years ago, a great man was born. Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, Black Nationalist, Pan-Africanist, and orator of tremendous note. Garvey was a controversial leader who believed firmly in the power of unity in the black community. His quotes are so often used but — in my opinion — infrequently contemplated and understood. Here are some of my favorites.
In 1918, Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) group launched a newspaper called Negro World. Unlike just about every publication of the time, Garvey refused to run ads for skin lighteners or hair straighteners. He rebuffed their efforts with the following quote: “Take the kinks out of your mind instead of your hair.”
He was a dark skinned man and was never ashamed of the depth of his color. He embraced himself as he was and encouraged other black people to feel the same. “The Black skin is not a badge of shame, but rather a glorious symbol of national greatness.”

Many of Marcus Garvey's lessons and ideals have found a voice in the lyrics of conscious reggae musicians past and present. From internationally famous musicians such as Bob Marley and Burning Spear, to the music and words of The Rastafari Elders, reggae musicians have found inspiration in Marcus Garvey. For many reggae musicians, their work is about more than music, it is a tool for teaching the masses.
