Message To The People : The Course Of African Philosophy

In 1937, Marcus Garvey, founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, assembled his most trusted organisers to impart his life's lessons. For one month he instructed this elite student body on topics ranging from universal knowledge and how to attain it, to leadership, character, God, and the social system. Known as the Course of African Philosophy, this volume offers a fascinating distillation of the great leader's wisdom. AUTHOR: Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey (1887 40) was a proponent of the Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism movements, which inspired the Nation of Islam and Rastafarianism. Committed to the belief that African Americans need to secure financial independence from white-dominated society, he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League.
