New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “Be as proud of your race today as our fathers were in the days of yore.” Too often, the mirror lies — bending our reflection through someone else’s eyes. But pride is not vanity; it’s memory held upright. When we forget our light, the world sells us shadows. Pride, in its true form, is repair — the act of standing where our people stood and saying, we are still here. Zora Neale Hurston lived that way — gathering our stories, our laughter, our language, proving that knowing ourselves is its own kind of armor. Today, tell someone a story about a beloved ancestor. Do it in her memory: speak one truth about who we are, without trimming it for comfort. We walk tall because they did. A professional Black man steps out of his Lawrenceville, Georgia home wearing Afrocentric clothing, ready to meet the day. Pride is repair. Each step we take honors our ancestors and keeps their light alive. Marcus Garvey quote meaning: Garvey calls for Black pride grounded in self-respect and memory. What does “We walk tall because they did” mean? It means we move with the strength our ancestors gave us. How to live this message: Tell a story about a beloved ancestor and speak truth about who we are. Where filmed: Lawrenceville, Georgia — symbol of quiet, middle-class Black excellence. Garvey and Zora Neale Hurston: Garvey taught pride; Hurston preserved it through story.
