We must free the “African mind” through African Centered Educational activities so that we might better understand the importance of economic self-reliance.
One model that we draw strength from in pursuing economic and educational liberation is the model established by the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in the 1920s.
The more I read and study about Marcus Garvey, the more I am amazed at the great contributions he made to African people to become a self-reliant and self-sufficient people. At the core of Marcus Garvey's program was his urging of African people to acquire education and economic power. As he always started, “A race without power is a race without respect.”
