Even
as I write this, the
online petition for the exoneration of the Hon Marcus Mosiah Garvey now has
1071 signatures. The goal is to reach 5,000 signatures by June 2012,
Caribbean-American Heritage Month, and I hope to present the petition to
President Barack Obama.
The
growth of the petition would not have been possible without the livication of
readers who have blogged, shared, tweeted, and emailed the link to friends and acquaintances
in their network. And for this, I give thanks.
As
Marcus Garvey showed us in his life
and work, if we have a goal, then nothing can stop us. If only we would wake up
to our power instead of giving it away or selling it for a pittance.
With
that in mind, I have sought the guidance/wiseman of Jabulani Tafari (among
others), and I will be meeting with Julius Garvey, son of Marcus Garvey, at the
Rootz
Extravaganza on Saturday, August 20, 2011.
As a lead-up to the event, I will
be appearing the Conduit Show with Sheron
Hamilton-Pearson on Sunday, July 17, 2011 between 7:00 and 8:00 p.m. to
discuss among other topics, the
online petition to exonerate Marcus Garvey.
In the meantime, if you have
any ideas about I/we can be more effective/successful, please let me know in
the Comments section.
