Let us make it our mission to find the honorable Marcus Garvey’s other speeches.

Thank you brother Delxino for this fascinating history on the honorable Marcus Garvey and to hear his straight from his voice. I appreciate this special message.

This is the first I ever heard Marcus Garvey’s voice.He has a unique style that gets right to the point of informing and instructing our people! “Long live the a spirit of Marcus Garvey!”

This presentation demonstrates how Garvey was determined to show, teach, and explain the importance of each one of us learning who we are, as well as the power we have when we work together, rather than being as weak as the weakest link. Everyone must understand the fight and the struggle, moving forward in support of a leader in unity.

Mr. Garvey’s message was so powerful that it transcends time.

Marcus Garvey was falsely accused, we know the truth. Marcus Garvey lives on in Garvey Nation!

America is so threaten when Blacks come together for our common good. This was the first time I believe, I have ever heard his voice. Thanks for sharing Brother Delxino.

Wow! Thank you brother Delxino for sharing this amazing old recording Marcus Garvey speech, i didn’t know the Black Leaders were trying to keep Marcus out the country, and they wrote the government as well to keep him out, you learn something new everyday..thanks you!

Wow!!! Mr. Garvey’s speech of 1921 was full of disgrace and shame for and to him!!! With all his leadership organization for the Afrikans, can’t help to believe some of this was done out of pure hate and Jealousy!!!

Thanks Brother Delxino for sharing this speech given upon his return back to the USA in 1921.

Marcus Garvey is an eloquent speaker who knows how to address the issue at hand with his people. Marcus explains his vision for his people elaborating on leadership, loyalty and humanity.

His speech magnified his greatness as a leader!

Thank you for this Awesome Opportunity given here in allowing us to hear Marcus Garvey's words from him himself..Awesome!!

Such a blessing to be able to her Marcus Garvey's voice. He was an eloquent speaker.

Sadly, some of our great leaders at the time , like people in Jesus' day, rejected Mr. Garvey. I like Mr. Garvey's energy, motivation, relentless pursuit of his dreams. He's quite an inspiration.

Thank you for this educational experience.

Marcus Garvey had Leadership the Recordings are great.Wow this is great teaching to us as Negroes tried to keep him from re entering back into the United States 🇺🇸

WOW! What a privilege it is to be among the ones that could hear Marcus Garvey voice ,one of the three known recordings.

In this recording, Marcus Garvey refers to Negro leaders who tried to keep him from re-entering the United States:

EIGHT of Marcus Garvey’s Black enemies wrote the U.S. State Department in 1921, saying that the UNIA "was composed of the most primitive and ignorant element...Negro sharks and Negro fanatics." They asked for Marcus Garvey to be deported. This was part of their "Garvey Must Go" campaign.

These "Negro leaders" included:

W.E.B DuBois

who led the effort. He was a co-founder of the NAACP and thought that Blacks should be focused on education alone, with emulating and fitting in with white society. He felt Garvey was distracting Black people with talk of African redemption. DuBois called Garvey “the most dangerous enemy of the Negro race”.

A. Philip Randolph

led the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, the first successful African-American-led labor union. He said Garvey had "succeeded in making the Negro the laughing stock of the world.”, and called Garvey a "half-wit, low grade moron".

In reality, all eight of the so-called Negro leaders were jealous of incredible rising popularity of Marcus Garvey at the time. They were friendly with Garvey when he first arrived in Harlem a few years earlier, when THEY were considered the leaders of Black people. Once Marcus Garvey's popularity rose, millions of Black people joined Garvey's organization, including many of their former members. His success became a threat to their power, so they organized the "Garvey Must Go" campaign, held meetings, and wrote a letter to the State Department to try to keep him out of the country.

Sister Sharon is right! When the leader is building something, it hurts all of us when someone tries to destroy it! There are always those kinds of pessimistic people, and we should be wary of them.

Leadership is needed. Marcus Garvey provided Leadership 💯. There are levels of Leadership. While Garvey was the General without the loyal supporters there was a rift. We have to uphold our Leaders hand whether the Leader is home or abroad. When you are truly supportive of authority, supportive of the vision, you would not seek to undermined or dethrone the Leader. When we believe in the vision our actions should support that belief and we should protect it at all cost. Garvey Nation is the vision birthed within our Leaders that was originally birthed by Garvey to empower our race. If you believe that this vision will Empower our race. Why would you seek to discredit the Leader or anything associated with the vision. Let us support Garvey Nation with our whole heart and never let anyone discredit our Leader not the mission at hand. The Leader and the vision are one. We are a part of the whole vision of the Empowering of our race. No part is not needed. As we uplift one another we are protecting, preserving and strengthening the vision.
