yes, but actually there is much more to marcus garvey then simply 'back to africa'
essentially garveyite platform is this:
1) Industrial development for the disenfranchised to a level of self-sustainability
2) The Inevitable Failures of the Solving the Current Problems by Using the Methods Offerred from the Same System Which Causes/ed The Problem and Continues to Enable the Problem. You Must Start Something New...
3) One God, One Aim, One Destiny. This is above all else a religious movement, and the millions of who followed Garvey then and now do so in a religious regard.
Marcus Garvey left a lot of speechs and writings. His newspaper editorials were smuggled into colonial Africa in places like Kenya and Ghana and read aloud to masses of rural Africans, people were entrusted to memorize the texts to transmitt them further, Garvey's work was the first to organize the disenfranchised masses in Central and South America and in Colonial Africa. For this He is truly a hero, and many remember him so. Had it not been for His Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Africa and the 'west Indies' alike might remain under the yolk of the Union Jack, and Central America would be still be virtual slaves to the fruit giants.. Garvey sparked hope into the world, and the momentum has never been stopped. All of the revolutionary zeal of the twentieth century, particularly in the western hemisphere and in Africa is in relation in one way or another to Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
