We are all in a sense stifled Garvey followers. how is it that we have forgotten all that was given to us back in the early 1900's we have been asleep for another 100 years distracted and drugged. the Alarm clock has sounded it's time to wake up!!!!!!!
THIS IS THE TIME FOR A NEW MOVEMENT during a time when they would not dare Murder our leaders of today like they did in the days of old. or have we been so brain washed, so mentally oppressed that we cant lift our heads to try again???? YOU TELL ME!!!

Marcus Garvey said it best...

"MAN IS THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS ABLE TO SHAPE HIS OWN CHARACTER, MASTER HIS OWN WILL, DIRECT HIS OWN LIFE AND SHAPE HIS OWN ENDS."

Johnny,

What Mr. Garvey started finished with his conviction and deportation because God was not with him.

Mr. Watson I have a 68 IQ. And, I could see that what Garvey started finished with him. Especially, when greater leaders than Garvey came along and we still haven't gotten anywhere do you not think that it is extemely stupid of you to resurrect the bones of ignorant Marcus Garvey?

one should receive and retain the good things that the man gave us. he was able to mobilize a great number of people something neither you nor i seam to possess. He gave them hope pride in a down trodden people as well as uniforms and something to be a part of. I also think that only a man with an IQ of 68 would call this man ignorant. he was well ahead of his time, and had balls that i don't think that you are fit to carry. so please sir don't be so insulting to a man that stood up in a time when whites would have lynched him just for being in the wrong place at the right time. i would think that you would have liked the guy he believed as you do, that blacks should have their own nation, but whites soon let him know that this would never going to happen( this means that you could not have watched the video) or you'd know that. and if there was any ignorance about the man it was that he trusted the wrong people, who like so many of our people do, Sold him out!( does that sound familiar to you Harry?) it is how ever a sad commentary see that we have not really progressed much in our struggles. one must also realize that we did try to make a move in the seventies, we had a real black thing going on, but that's when they introduced some really addictive drugs in the black community, they did it again in the late eighties and early nineties, (can anyone say Crack) that is just one of many tools used to keep us off balance. I still believe that I am wasting my time and words on you Harry, but i do hope some else will read these and make some sense of it all.
