New on TikTok: Your child wakes up every morning choosing which version of themselves to be. One self for home, one self for the world. W. E. B. Du Bois called it double consciousness, the feeling of being split in two, one self for your people and one self for a world that was never built for you. Most of us have navigated this for most of our lives. But our children are carrying the split without an anchor because nobody taught them their history. Garvey rejected this twoness. He called Africa his North Star and rooted his identity in an African sense of self. Without that root, our children drift. What is double consciousness and why does it matter for Black children today? Go to thegarveyclassroom.com to learn how Garvey's philosophy gives children the anchor Du Bois was reaching for. Geoffrey Philp is also the author of the graphic novel My Name Is Marcus, which tells Garvey's story for a new generation of readers. Why should Marcus Garvey be taught in schools?
