Born of Jamaican roots on August 17, 1887, Marcus Garvey is the grandfather of pan-Africanist cultural movements throughout the diaspora.

His Universal Negro Improvement Association went onto inspire generations of movements, scholars and black people across the world.

Today, I encourage all of you to take a moment out to remember this powerful ancestor, and his all important legacy.

Check out Uptown Notes for a much more prolific tribute to Garvey.
