Afrikan people read Garvey’s written works. He was so active until the end of his life, establishing the School of African Philosophy and producing graduates in the last 3 years of his life 1937-40. Open that book up, Message to the People, the Course of African Philosophy!

I’ve read it and found Message to the People to be a worthwhile read.

and still got to read more of the rest of the course’s content that’s locked up in the New York Public Library (Schomburg) which requires sign up and visitation requests in advance. It’s too bad it ended up there, no disrespect to Arturo Schomburg … “The School of African Philosophy collection consists of a 1938 letter sent to Ms. Hazel Escridge, along with nine lessons and the Declaration of Oath. The latter includes a commitment to prevent other people from seeing the lessons, especially other races.”

Yes, I’ve always loved this book. I found it in my dad’s library maybe 10 years ago. I read it, and reread 3 times over again immediately after that. I went crazy! His words were powerful!

A must. Message to the People is reference material you want to read excerpts from periodically

I doubt anyone has this book here, a collection of interviews form Garvey’s closest confidants, students, and wife. These interview really give you a good idea of what it was like in the UNIA.
