Marcus Mosiah Garvey "MOSES"
We want a subject in school on Marcus.
We want a Marcus Garvey Day.
In Africa they didn't teach us about Garvey in our history books,Jah Know,it would make us fight this evil system, because we will know the system that has kept us poor from birth.
They taught us wrong history because they don't want us to know our roots and culture.
"A People without the knowledge of their past history,origin and culture is like a tree without roots"~ Marcus Mosiah Garvey
Wish we didn't spend so much time reading about David Livingston,Queen of England(we all know she left a brutal legacy), Isaac Newton who discovered the force of nothing, Christopher Colombus ( damn liar, murdërer and râpist)

Rastafari owes a lot to Marcus Garvey, as he is credited as the founder. The religion was born on the words"Look to Africa for the crowning of a Black king." They waited and in 1930, the prophecy was fulfilled when, Ras Tafari Mekonnen was crowned emperor of Ethiopia and took the name Haile Selassie.
