Marcus Garvey.......apex
Marcus Garvey gravely encouraged African Americans to embrace their racial identity and take pride in their heritage. He advocated for economic independence and self-reliance through the establishment of businesses and community organizations. Garvey also promoted the idea of a return to Africa, emphasizing the importance of unity among people of African descent worldwide. His vision aimed to empower African Americans and instill a sense of dignity and purpose in their struggle for equality.
Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was born in Jamaica and travelled widely examining the status of blacks in Europe and America. He decided that they could only achieve parity with whites by uniting under their African heritage. He was a major leader in the Pan-African Movement, and also supported the continued colonization of Liberia in Africa. His movement of "African Redemption" became known as Garveyism, and was one basis for the Rastafari religious movement, where he is revered as a prophet. hope it helped :)
