Inspired by the daily series, “A Black History Lesson” by Dr. Marvin Dunn. I’ve decided to compile a list of books about Marcus Garvey. This is by no means a definitive list, but merely a primer for parents who want to teach their children about Marcus Garvey while we are sheltering in place or for anyone who is interested in the work of Marcus Garvey, but doesn’t know where to begin.
Most of the books are available on Amazon and if they’re not, I've included a link so you can download the book.
Happy reading!
