"[Brown] noted that during his second visit to Costa Rica, in 1921, Garvey was enthusiastically received by thousands of people, he caused a great impact on the workers, especially the Afro-descendant population and he met with then-President Julio Acosta, to whom he presented proposals to improve the living conditions of workers in the coastal region."

On this day in 1923, the first volume of Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey was published. The book, which was compiled and edited by Amy Jacques Garvey, is a collection of his speeches and essays.

If you don’t have a physical copy of the book, you can read it on Internet Archive at archive.org/details/ThePhiloso

"When the Black-nationalist firebrand Marcus Garvey gave rise to the 'Black is beautiful' movement, a century ago, he wasn’t trying to convince white people; he was addressing Black people who had never considered the possibility that those two adjectives could coexist."

Since my brain keeps going back to the 60s, I added the colors of the
Black Liberation (or Pan-African) Flag to my hashtag. But to my chagrin, I got the colors in the wrong order. It's RBG not RGB. The brothers would be so disappointed by me.

Great Albums – 1970s: (1975). Winston Rodney (aka Burning Spear) brought his political convictions to bear on tough-sounding reggae that combined resonant 3-part harmonies (with Delroy Hines and Rupert Willington) with powerful horns and Earl “Chinna” Smith’s chattering lead guitar. A break-through LP for the mighty Spear after Chris Blackwell got on board, a dub version of the LP, Garvey’s Ghost, followed.

On the last lap of cleaning, and was listening to Gerry D's radio programme on which an elder was talking about how Marcus Garvey's work changed his life.

The discussion segued to Amy Jacques Garvey and her powerful impact on Garvey. She was born on December 31, 1895, and a building will be named after her to honour her tomorrow.

I eagerly await the day when Marcus Garvey's works become a part of Jamaica's school curricula.

@seanalan I need to learn more about the movement. I learned a little about how and contributed to the movement, but I can certainly afford to learn more.
