A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots- Marcus Garvey

Marcus Garvey's life had its up and downs and bitter-sweet moments but overall he was a great contribution to our everyday life and our society. Marcus Garvey was the founder of the UNIA(an organization similar to the NAACP), that fought for equal rights of African-Americans and helped better the society by promoting equal rights.
