Requests:  0 Summary:  Marcus Mosiah Garvey was once the most famous black man on earth. A brilliant orator who electrified his audiences, he inspired thousands to join his "Back to Africa" movement, aiming to create an independent homeland through Pan-African emigration--yet he was barred from the continent by colonial powers. This self-educated, poetry-writing aesthete was a shrewd promoter whose use of pageantry fired the imagination of his followers. At the pinnacle of his fame in the early 1920s, Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association boasted millions of members in more than forty countries, and he was an influential champion of the Harlem Renaissance. J. Edgar Hoover was so alarmed by Garvey that he labored for years to prosecute him, finally using dubious charges for which Garvey served several years in an Atlanta prison. This biography restores Garvey to his place as one of the founders of black nationalism and a key figure of the 20th century.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.54092 Garvey Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.54092 Garvey Gr Lost 12/28/2019 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Biography B Garvey, Marcus Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Biography B Garvey Gr Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
