Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. (1887-1940) was a Jamaican political activist, publisher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator. The Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey (originally published in 1923) is a collection of his speeches and essays compiled by his widow, Amy Jacques Garvey, setting out a vision to unite Africa and Africans. As an early proponent of the Back-to-Africa movement, Garvey encouraged a sense of pride and self-worth among Africans and those in the African diaspora. He formed the “Universal Negro Improvement Association” which was a critical link in Black America’s centuries-long struggle for freedom, justice, and equality.This collection of Garvey’s writing remains one of the most famous to this day, still very relevant to the plight of Black people globally.
