Marcus Mosiah Garvey…his name is legend from the America’s to Zanzibar. One of the most influential figures of the 20th century, Garvey’s powerful message of Black pride remains as relevant today as it was almost a hundred years ago. Across generations and continents, leaders like Malcolm X, Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta and musical icon Bob Marley readily acknowledge the influence of Garvey’s philosophy on their lives, thoughts and actions. Now the story of Garvey’s colourful life, his exploits and his compellign message are captured in text by Suzanne Francis-Brown and in brilliant colour illustrations by Jean Jacques Vaysierres for young readers.
