Today on the People’s War Radio Show, we are celebrating the birthday of Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Every week, the People’s War Radio show brings you an African Internationalist perspective of world issues. African Internationalism, the theory of the African Working Class has its origins in the ideology and practices of Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
Marcus Garvey organized one of the most important anticolonial African organizations in history. Garvey’s revolutionary journal, the Negro World, had a weekly circulation of at least 200,000 copies.
Garvey understood the power in Africans reclaiming control of the historical narrative and embraced the African revolutionary tradition.
Marcus Garvey organized the largest African Revolutionary organization in history--the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The UNIA was formed in Jamaica in 1914 following Garvey’s return to the country of his birth. Marcus Garvey brought the UNIA to the United States in 1916.
On this episode of the People’s War Radio show, Dexter and I will discuss the legacy of Marcus Garvey and our place in it. We will share some of the music that has upheld Marcus Garvey, discuss his significance to political organization nowadays, and present excerpts from a speech given by Chairman Omali Yeshitela on the continued significance of Marcus Garvey.
