A Roundtable on Justice for Marcus Garvey: Legacy Reflections & New Efforts to Pardon His Name (Broadleaf Books)
October 8 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm
The Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey inspired every major Black movement of the 20th century. Sayings that live on today—like: “I’m Black and I’m proud,” “Black Power,” “Black Is Beautiful,” as well as the “Back to Africa” movement—are all rooted in the global leader that was Garvey and in his philosophies that have come to be known as Garveyism. Join his son, Dr. Julius Garvey, plus Black publishers, national thought-leaders, and essay contributors to discuss the exciting new anthology, Justice for Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind. Foreword by Ta’Nehisi Coates. Roundtable voices include: Troy Johnson, Diane Richards, Paul Coates, Dr. Goulda Downer, Safiya Parker, JD and Dr. Ayo Sekai.
This book discussion is a tribute to and a rallying cry for one of the preeminent champions of Black pride and self-determination. Learn how you can join the next generation of justice activists and keep Garvey’s legacy alive!
