Marcus Garvey
When all else fails to organize the people, conditions will.
Marcus Garvey
They subjugate first, if the weaker peoples will stand for it then exploit, and if they will not stand for SUBJUGATION nor EXPLOITATION, the other recourse is EXTERMINATION.
Marcus Garvey
The greatest possesion of man is character
Marcus Garvey
It is only the belief and the confidence we have in a God why man is able to understand his own social institutions, and move and live like a rational human being.
