Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born on August 17th, 1887, in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica. He was the youngest of 11 children born to Marcus Garvey, Sr. and Sarah Jane Richards. In 1912, Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The UNIA’s goal was to unite Africans and "establish a country and absolute government of their own.” Garvey came to New York City in 1916 and formed a UNIA chapter in Harlem to promote a separatist philosophy of social, political, and economic freedom for blacks. In 1919, Garvey launched the Black Star Line, which established trade and commerce between Africans in America, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Canada and Africa. In August 1920, the UNIA claimed 4 million members and held its first International Convention at Madison Square Garden. Garvey spoke in front of 25,000 people from all over world. In 1922, Marcus Garvey and three other UNIA officials were charged with mail fraud involving the Black Star Line. On June 23, 1923, Garvey was convicted and sentenced to prison for five years. Garvey appealed his conviction, but was denied. In 1927 he was released from prison and deported to Jamaica. Garvey continued his political activism and the work of UNIA in Jamaica, and then moved to London in 1935. But he did not command the same influence he had earlier. Marcus Garvey died in London in 1940 after several strokes. Due to travel restrictions during World War II, his body was interred in London. In 1964, his remains were exhumed and taken to Jamaica, where the government proclaimed him Jamaica's first national hero and re-interred him at a shrine in the National Heroes Park. But his memory and influence remain. His message of pride and dignity inspired many in the early days of the Civil Rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. In tribute to his many contributions, Garvey's bust has been displayed in the Organization of American States' Hall of Heroes in Washington, D.C. The country of Ghana has named its shipping line the Black Star Line and its national soccer team the Black Stars, in honor of Garvey. Marcus Garvey is a Radical // (credits in comments)
