“Garvey did not fail. Indeed, it was Marcus Garvey’s philosophy that inspired the Nkrumah fight for the independence of Ghana from the colonialism that was imposed on it by England.

Nana Garvey did not fail.
Majority of Ghanaians do not know that Nana Kwame Nkrumah got the inspiration of the Black Star on the Ghana flag 🇬🇭 from Nana Marcus Garvey’s Black Star Line.

That quote was off the mark and certainly didn’t age well. When are we gonna get real about what’s really going on? How Nana Garvey and Nkrumah are often mentioned in the same sentence never made any sense.

“The fear was that the changing image of the African would have a tendency to change your and my image much too much, and they knew you and I tended to identify with Africa where we didn’t formerly do so. Their fear was that sympathy and that identity would eventually develop into sort of an allegiance for African hopes and aspirations above and…

“So they created a division between the Afro-American and the African so that you and I could not get together and coordinate our efforts and make progress.”
