Born in 1887, only 21 years after the Morant Bay rebellion, and 53 years after Emancipation, Garvey grew up in a Jamaica that was still trapped in psychological bondage. As a child, he would probably have heard the denigrating mantra, ‘Nutten black no good’. He might even have been asked, ‘How yu so black an ugly?’ As if he had anything to do with it.
Garvey grandly rose above the hateful definitions of blackness in Jamaican society and prophetically affirmed, “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind”. Many of us sing along with Bob Marley, who popularised Garvey’s words in his “Redemption Song”. But do we fully comprehend the profundity of the exhortation to free the mind?

my tribute to my jew jenny whose bday is today
today is the birthday of one of the greatest loves of my life: Jenny. Our 13th year as homegirls began because I would cry every night to my parents when I arrived at NYU; homesick and distraught by how NYC and NYU looked and felt; shocked it was so color-free and the only times I saw myself was when looking out the window of my village apartment and looking down at the people of Color taking out trash, cleaning. My papi told me to “make friends” one night and the next day I sat in class, looking at all the people who didnt look like me and picked the one with the curliest hair: Jenny, to be my friend. I tell myself I chose Jenny, but really she chose me too. We chose each other. And we always do! She is the remarkable essence of love in its purest form. She sees me and witnesses my life, evolution, and helps me create new memories that remind me what I do matters and what I create has value and worth. She does this for everyone in her life. If you’ve had the phenomenal joy of being in her presence and having her in your life, you know what revolutionary love is, feels like, and why we need it forever. I adore you Jenny and can’t wait to see you again soon! Happy Birthday!
