Dr. Julius Garvey, Son Of Marcus Garvey, To Speak At Delaware State University Feb. 7
|
Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on January 30, 2023 Delaware State University will present Dr. Julius Garvey, the son of early-20th Century black history figure Marcus Garvey, as a guest speaker at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Feb.7 in the Education and Humanities Theatre on campus as a featured event during Black History Month. Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican native, came to the United States in 1916 to promote African American self-sufficiency and advocate for their human rights. The founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Jamaica, Garvey found a branch of the organization in New York City, which served as a platform for his message. Garvey launched various businesses, including the Negro World newspaper, Negro Factories Corporation, and a Black Star Line shipping and passenger ship company. Garvey was arrested in 1923 on charges that many argue were racially motivated. He convicted and imprisoned, but his sentence was commuted after two years and the United States deported him back to Jamaica. During his time in the United States, Marcus Garvey was a controversial alternative voice in the African American struggle for civil and human rights. Dr. Garvey, a retired cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon, will discuss his father’s book, The Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey, his efforts to unite the African diaspora with the peoples of Africa, and the social justice issues that are as relevant today as they were back in Marcus Garvey’s time. He will also share information about the exoneration efforts that are underway to clear his father’s name of the unjust conviction he suffered.
