Marcus Mosiah Garvey was one of the great Black leaders. He believed that through self-determination, economic empowerment, and independence, we can create our destiny.
Marcus traveled to many countries throughout Europe and South America. He noticed that wherever he went, black people were treated worse than white people. So, he created an organization to uplift and inspire black people called the United Negro Improvement Association.
Marcus Garvey was a remarkable businessman and speaker. He used his influence and knowledge to build black pride and unity. His aim was for all black people to one day return to Africa and to build their lives in their place of origin. His teachings inspired many other leaders such as Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, and Nelson Mandela.
