The place? Menelik Hall in Sydney, Nova Scotia.
This selection of sayings of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey provides an introduction to the mind of a man capable of speaking such words into existence. His ideas continue to have a profound impact on those who hear them to this very day.
Marcus Garvey was a journalist, editor, and publisher, as well as the founder, and President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA.)
