Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican-born political leader, orator, and activist who became one of the most influential figures in the Pan-African movement. Born in 1887, he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), advocating for Black pride, economic independence, and the unification of African-descended people worldwide. Garvey promoted the idea of self-reliance and launched initiatives such as the Black Star Line, a shipping company aimed at facilitating trade and migration between Africa and the African diaspora. His powerful speeches and writings inspired millions, emphasizing the importance of African heritage and the need to build a strong, independent Black nation. Though he faced legal challenges and was deported from the U.S., Garvey’s vision laid the foundation for future civil rights movements and remains a symbol of Black empowerment and self-determination.
