Marcus Garvey was one of the greatest black leaders we ever had. He said that black people will never be successful depending on whites or other races of people, he said that as black people we must come together and do for self. I'm going to list some of Marcus Garvey's achievements. 1. Marcus Garvey built factories, where he made black dolls for black kids to play with. 2. He built a hotel. 3. His organization had their own trucking company. 4. He built schools. 5. He built restaurants. 6. His organization had their own printing press. 7. He started 3 newspapers. 8. His main newspaper was called the Negro World, and this newspaper was published in Spanish and French. 9. His black organization bought 3 ships and they started practicing international trade and commerce. 10. Marcus Garvey's organization owned office buildings. 11. They also bought an auditorium in New York, and that's where he mainly spoke and this place was called Liberty Hall. 12. By 1920 Marcus Garvey organization had 6 million members. 13. They had branches in 22 countries. 14. Marcus Garvey also started his own political party, and he named it The Peoples Political Party. Marcus Garvey did all of this without help from white people or the Government, and he did it with and 8th grade education. |

Now that's what you call a real black leader, compared to Marcus Garvey we don't have any real black leaders today he was doing more than just talking. |

The NAACP was Marcus Garvey enemy, the NAACP did everything they could to stop Marcus Garvey and his movement. The NAACP even started working hand and hand with the U.S. Government to try and stop Marcus Garvey. |

Marcus Garvey is saying the samething that we black Conservatives are saying, he's saying that blacks must do for self and not look for other people to do something for them. |

Marcus Garvey is a big hero in Jamaica, but Garvey did his greatest work here in America. The blacks in America don't honor and respect him. But the blacks in Jamaica do, Bob Marley always praised Garvey in his songs. |

Al Sharpton and the black Democrats are telling black people to march on white people for jobs, they are telling black people to march on the Government for jobs. Marcus Garvey would disown those begging Negros for telling black people to do that. |
