New on TikTok: Wednesday Questions 1 Greetings! My name is Geoffrey Philp, and I’m the author of Unstoppable You, which will be published on August 17—Marcus Garvey’s birthday. One of the questions I get asked a lot is: “Why isn’t Marcus Garvey taught in schools?” The simple answer is this: Garvey’s teachings are about liberation. And most educational systems are still shaped by the colonial model. All they care about is conformity. They’re designed to turn students into consumers, not creators. Garvey teaches us to think for ourselves. To use our minds. To be free. This is part of a series I’m doing, answering real questions about Marcus Garvey. So if you have a question, drop it in the comments. I’d love to hear from you. Until next time, Walk good. Why isn’t Marcus Garvey taught in schools? Geoffrey Philp, author of Unstoppable You, answers this real question with clarity: Garvey’s teachings are about liberation—not conformity. That threatens systems designed to maintain control. In this TikTok, Geoffrey explains how colonial education molds students into consumers, while Garvey’s philosophy urges us to think for ourselves. This is part of the "Marcus Garvey Today" series, using Garvey’s teachings to free minds across the Black diaspora. Aligned with the Garvey Classroom’s Prime Directive: mental freedom. #MarcusGarvey #GarveyClassroom #BlackHistory #MentalFreedom #UnstoppableYou #GarveyWisdom #SelfReliance #ColonialEducation #WhyGarveyNotTaught #LiberationEducation #TikTokEducation #GarveyToday Q1: Why isn’t Marcus Garvey taught in schools?
