I want
everyone to be comfortable in her or his own skin.
Racism has
been a source of suffering for my people.
In order to
become comfortable in our own skins, we need to change HOW we think about
ourselves.
Marcus
Garvey's ideas changed how I thought about myself.
Many people
do not know about Marcus Garvey’s ideas.
If more people
knew about Marcus Garvey's ideas, like the 10,000+ sisters and brothers
who have signed the petition to exonerate Marcus Garvey, they would be outraged at the injustice of Garvey’s conviction on
mail fraud.
With the
exoneration of Marcus Garvey, more people will learn about his ideas of RESPECT (Redemption, Education, Self-Reliance, Entrepreneurship, Community, and Tradition).
I believe
that if we incorporate these ideas into our lives, it will begin the healing
process of becoming more comfortable in our own skins.
“Set the captives
free!”
The Coalition for the Exoneration of Marcus Garvey is petitioning Senator Bill Nelson, Representative Frederica Wilson, and the Congress of the United States of America for the exoneration of Marcus Garvey:
