“The Prophet of Pan-Africanism” – Marcus Garvey
Marcus Garvey changed the conversation long before social media ever existed. In this episode of Voices of Change, we break down the story of the Black Star Line, the movement that inspired millions, and the moment in history that made 1923 such a turning point.
Garveys vision wasnt just about ships. It was about pride, ownership, unity, and possibility. From Harlem parades to global Pan-African organizing, his impact stretched across continents and across generations. His supporters the Garveyites helped shape a movement that still influences culture, music, and politics today.
In this episode, we look at:
How Garvey built the UNIA into a global movement
The dream and challenges of the Black Star Line
Why the U.S. government targeted Garvey in 1923
How his ideas inspired Malcolm X, Nkrumah, Marley, and more
Why Garveys message feels louder than ever in 2025
This is part of our Historical Figures Series, where we explore the voices that shaped the world and continue to spark conversation today.
