“We can not “ignore the significance of the lessons of history,” continued Mrs Iddi, before repeating one of Garvey’s famous quotations: “A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture, is like a tree without roots,” to which she made reference to the recent racially-motivated disturbances and death in Charlottesville. The lessons of Charlottesville remind us that even though progress has been made in the struggle for racial equality, a lot more needs to be done.”

“Indeed, it’s worth pointing out that within the W.E.B. Dubois Memorial Centre For Pan African Culture in Accra, Ghana is the Marcus Garvey Guest House. Also, Ghana’s first prime minister and president Kwame Nkrumah, did acknowledge in his 1957 biography that the book which influenced him the most was ‘Philosophy And Opinions Of Marcus Garvey, Or Africa For The Africans’.”

“We’re grateful for the opportunity to acknowledge the influence of the ideas of Marcus Garvey on our own struggle for independence as a nation. Some of which have been immortalised as symbols of our nationhood, such as the Black Star Line, the Black Stars, which is the name of the national football team, and note also the rising black star in our national flag.”

“I’m pleased that we’ve had the opportunity to reflect on the ideas and actions of Marcus Garvey. As we all know, and have had it echoed this evening, Marcus Garvey was one of the prominent icons of the continued struggle for racial equality and empowerment of people of African descent.”
