Jamaican History on Marcus Mosiah Garvey

Marcus Mosiah Garvey was the last of eleven children born on Marcus Garvey Sr. and Sarah Jane Richards. His father was a stonemason and his mother a domestic worker and farmer. At a tender age of fourteen, Marcus became a printer's apprentice. In 1903, he traveled to Kingston Jamaica and soon became involved in union activities. In 1907, he took part in an unsuccessful printer's strike and the experience kindled in him a passion for political activism. Marcus Garvey died in London in 1940 after several strokes.

​His philosophy is "If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in race of life."
