Today is Marcus Mosiah Garvey‘s 125th Earthday.  Blessed Earthstrong Black Marcus, my Prophet. As relevant now as he was then. Don’t say that you understand, until yuh hear the man.

“This propaganda of dis-associating Western Negroes from Africa is not a new one. For many years white propagandists have been printing tons of literature to impress scattered Ethiopia, especially that portion within their civilization, with the idea that Africa is a despised place, inhabited by savages, and cannibals, where no civilized human being should go, especially black civilized human beings. This propaganda is promulgated for the cause that is being realized today. That cause is COLONIAL EXPANSION for the white nations of the world.”
~ Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey,

 
“I stand before you this afternoon as a proud black man, honored to be a black man, who would be nothing else in God’s creation but a black man.”~ 1928
“If I die in Atlanta my work shall then only begin, but I shall live, in the physical or spiritual to see the day of Africa’s glory. When I am dead wrap the mantle of the Red, Black and Green around me, for in the new life I shall rise with God’s grace and blessing to lead the  millions up the heights of triumph with the colors that you well know. Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you, for, with God’s grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and Life.”
~ in a letter from prison, 1925
“Before we can properly help the people, we have to destroy the old education… that teaches them that somebody is keeping them back and that God has forgotten them and that they can’t rise because of their color.. we can only build… with faith in ourselves and with self-reliance, believing in our own possibilities, that we can rise to the highest in God’s creation.”
“Intelligence rules the world, ignorance carries the burden.”
“Let it be your constant method to look into the design of people’s actions, and see what they would be at, as often as it is practicable; and to make this custom the more significant, practice it first upon yourself.”
“Among some of the organized methods used to control the world is the thing known and called PROPAGANDA. Propaganda has done more to defeat the good intentions of races and nations than even open warfare. Propaganda is a method or medium used by organized peoples to convert others against their will. We of the Negro race are suffering more than any other race in the world from propaganda… propaganda to destroy our hopes, our ambitions and our confidence in self.” 
“Rise up Black Men, and take your stand. Reach up black men and women and pull all nature’s knowledge to you. Turn ye around and make a conquest of everything North and South, East and West. And then we you have wrought well, you will have merited God’s blessing, you will become God’s chosen people and naturally you’ll become leaders of the world.”

    I signed that petition last year and they had to scrap it because of not having enough signatures. They then started a new one and lowered the target amount.
    It's sad that it doesn't have millions of signatures yet.
    If black people felt that one of our own was cheated out of a Grammy or Oscar and someone spearheaded a petition in protest. It would have millions of signatures.

    I think you have a point, Kindfeelings. However, maybe you and I should do our part in mobilizing more signatures. I challenge us to cultivate twenty more signatures, OK?
