New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “Education is the medium by which a people are prepared for the creation of their own civilization.” But we have to ask: Educated for what? To memorize someone else’s greatness? To quote their philosophers and forget your own? To fit into systems that were never made for your freedom? That’s not education. That’s training. Garvey wanted more. Education that prepares you to build. To write your own books. To restore your own memory. To shape a world where your people thrive. So ask the question every day: Is what I’m learning helping me build the future I believe in? If not, it’s time to reclaim the purpose of your learning. Keep learning—but never forget who it is for. #MarcusGarveyQuote #DailyGarveyWisdom #ReclaimEducation #BuildYourCivilization #EducatedForWhat Summary (SEO Description) This TikTok uses a Marcus Garvey quote to challenge colonial education and affirm the need for self-determined learning rooted in purpose and cultural power. It asks the question: educated for what? Part of the Daily Garvey Wisdom series on race pride, clarity, and collective vision. FAQ Q1: What did Garvey mean by “Education is the medium… for civilization”? A1: He meant that real education should empower people to create their own systems, not serve existing ones. Q2: What’s wrong with traditional schooling? A2: It often trains students to fit in rather than to build, question, or lead their own communities. Q3: How do I reclaim my learning?
