How interesting that another August 17 should pass on our collective calendars with nary a mention of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, born on this day in the province of St. Ann, Jamaica in the year 1887.
I would like to invite you all to share thoughts, feelings, etc. regarding Garvey and his legacy - especially as it relates to the legacy of Booker T. Washington and Cruse's reflections in Crisis.
I look forward to hearing from you all and I hope to provide some interesting links in the coming weeks.
Happy Birthday Marcus!
