Smash cut to RBG-gradient slide: Hear the story Saturday. Q&A Q: Who is Marcus Garvey and why is he connected to Black Power? A: Garvey was a Pan-African leader in the early 20th century whose vision for self-determination, unity, and economic independence inspired the later Black Power movement. Q: Why say “Black Power didn’t start in the 60s”? A: The phrase challenges the common belief that the movement began in the civil rights era. Garvey’s organizing in the 1910s–1920s laid a clear foundation decades earlier. Q: How is this relevant today? A: The same principles—self-reliance, unity, and cultural pride—remain essential for building strong communities and resisting systemic oppression.
