Marcus Mossiah Garvey was born on August 17/1887 St. Ann's bay Jamaica. He was the first Blackman to publish a newspaper. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and wanted to ship all the african slaves descendants back to Africa.
He bought two cruise ships for that purpose which didn't succeed due to opposing forces. He made a prophesy of a black king being crowned in Africa(Haile selasie I) and a few years later it happened.
Marcus garvey wanted to make a one African state where all Africans would rule and govern themselves. He wanted Africans to worship God in their own way thus he believed in the God of Ethiopia for the crowned king was entitled 'Lord of Lords, King of Kings and the conquering Lion of Judah'. (Rev.5).
Marcus garvey died on June 10/1940. In one of his quotes he said "We have a beautiful history and we will make another one in future which shall astonish the whole world".
