Marcus Garvey

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that Marcus Garvey was a man with ambition, perseverance, and passion, who wanted to establish an African nation that could be independent. The author points out that his attempts to make black people into a group that would make a powerful contribution to the world were acknowledged by people of his time, but not taken into serious consideration in the long run. This paper concludes that Garveyism's influence on Africans was the stepping-stone for advocating the importance of embracing who you are and questioning where you are going in the future.

From the Paper:

"But as good things came to him, the bad also followed ten years of uncertainty for the future of black people. Some people questioned where his intentions were going to take Africans in the long run. From the time he was a young boy, he had always questioned his identity as a black man. He wanted to understand where he came from and whom his ancestors were and felt that it was important to acknowledge this. He also wanted the Diaspora and the Mother Land to connect to form a powerful nation just like the European nations who had separated them years before that."
