Description of Justice for Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind by Julius Garvey
Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was a Black political activist, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, which had a following of more than six million African descended people worldwide. Despite his massive popularity, this Jamaican born international leader was wrongfully sentenced to prison by the U.S. government on trumped-up mail-fraud charges.
While exoneration efforts began immediately and have continued since his sentencing, a new groundswell movement for Garvey’s posthumous pardon is underway—led by his nonagenarian, still-spirited son, Julius Garvey.
Edited by Julius Garvey, Justice for Marcus Garvey is a collection of informative essays and personal narratives about the senior Garvey’s life and work, demonstrating his essential influence on current social justice movements. The book features contributions from thought leaders and activists, including a foreword by bestselling author Ta-Nehisi Coates. Contributors include Paul Coates, founder/director of Black Classic Press; Goulda Downer, president of the Caribbean-American Political Action Committee (C-PAC); Justin Hansford, professor at Howard University School of Law; Maulana Karenga, widely known as the creator of the holiday Kwanzaa; and Troy Johnson, Founder of the African American Literature Book Club.
Justice for Marcus Garvey is a tribute and rallying cry for one of the preeminent champions of Black pride and self-determination.
