Marcus Garvey

Marcus Mosiah Garvey... his name is a legend from the Americas to Zanzibar. One of the most influential figuers of the 20th Century, Garvey's powerful message of Black pride remains as relevant today as it was almost a hundred years ago. Across generations and continents, leaders like Malcom X, Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta and musical icon Bob MArley readily acknowledge the influence of Garvey's philosophy on their lives, thoughts and actions.

Now the story of Garvey's colourful life, his exploits and his compelling message was captured for young readers in text by Suzanne Francis-Brown and in brilliant colour iillustrations by Jean-Jacques Vayssi`eres.
