Marcus Garvey

Data de nascimento:17. Agosto 1887
Data de falecimento:10. Junho 1940

Marcus Mosiah Garvey ONHJ foi um comunicador, empresário e ativista jamaicano.

É considerado um dos maiores ativistas da história do movimento nacionalista negro. Garvey liderou o movimento mais amplo de descendentes africanos até então; é lembrado por alguns como o principal idealista do movimento de "volta para a África", de profunda inspiração para que os negros tivessem a "redenção" da África, e que as potências coloniais europeias desocupassem o continente. Em suas próprias palavras, "Eu não tenho nenhum desejo de levar todas as pessoas negras de volta para a África, há negros que não são bons elementos aqui e provavelmente não o serão lá."

Apesar de ter sido criado como metodista, Marcus Garvey se declarava católico.

Selected Writings and Speeches of Marcus Garvey

„Having had the wrong education as a start in his racial career, the Negro has become his own greatest enemy. Most of the trouble I have had in advancing the cause of the race has come from Negroes. Booker Washington aptly described the race in one of his lectures by stating that we were like crabs in a barrel, that none would allow the other to climb over, but on any such attempt all would continue to pull back into the barrel the one crab that would make the effort to climb out. Yet, those of us with vision cannot desert the race, leaving it to suffer and die.“

— Marcus Garvey
Selected Writings and Speeches of Marcus Garvey

„You at this time can only be destroyed by yourselves, from within and not from without. You have reached the point where the victory is to be won from within and can only be lost from within.“
