The Story of Marcus Garvey
Born in Jamaica, Marcus Garvey imagined what the world called impossible — a proud and united African people, standing on their own feet. This is where The Garvey Classroom begins: the story that introduces young readers to the man who refused to accept oppression as normal, and taught us to see ourselves as a people with a future.
