Sinead O'Connor Supports the Petition to Exonerate Marcus Garvey



A few months ago, I received an email from Sinead O’Connor who wanted to help with the petition to exonerate Marcus Garvey. At first, I thought it was a hoax, but after exchanging several emails and checking the signatures, I realized that it was the real Sinead.

Today, she has posted the link in support of the petition:




Give thanks, Sinead, for leading the way. I hope other artists, especially Jamaican reggae artists who have benefited from Marcus Garvey’s legacy, will join us in the exoneration of our hero.

One Love

The Coalition for the Exoneration of Marcus Garvey is petitioning Frederica Wilson, Congressional Representative and the Congress of the United States of America for the exoneration of Marcus Garvey:

Thank you for your support.

That is outstanding news!!! Did not see her name on either petition. Has she signed them yet? Also it would be appropriate to get a few quotes from her for a PR...just a thought.

One God!
One Aim!
One Destiny!

Give thanks, Speak Garvey Speak. I am working on this even as I type this...She's working on a tour for her latest CD right now, so it's kinda hard to contact her, but I will see what I can do....it would be awesome!

One Love,
Geoffrey
