History, Black People Marcus Garvey (PBS.org (WGBH))
What's in a name---to be precise, in the name Marcus Garvey? A century after his birth, what should we know about him and the extraordinary movement that bears his name? The name Garvey has come to define both a discrete social phenomenon, and an era of black renaissance, in which Garveyism and the concept of black racial pride became synonymous.

(I think this one is a fitting finish to my month-long posting marathon for Black History Month 2003. Since black folks are still at the bottom of the social ladder in America today, maybe it's worth revisiting some of Garvey's concepts, which all argued for independence and taking control of your own destiny. ) « 3:22:52 AM »
