Today, August 17, 2024, we celebrate the birthday of Marcus Garvey, born in St. Ann’s Bay, Jamaica. A visionary leader and staunch Pan-Africanist, Garvey dedicated his life to the empowerment of Black people worldwide. He is best known for founding the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), an organization that aimed to unite African descendants across the globe and promote self-reliance, economic independence, and pride in African heritage.

His legacy continues to resonate today as a symbol of resistance and hope for those committed to the cause of African unity and empowerment.
