Did you know about Marcus Garvey?

Yarmouth and its rechristening as the S. Sometime in 1900 Garvey entered into an apprenticeship with his uncle Alfred Burrowes who also had an extensive library of which young Marcus made good use. Malcolm X's parents Earl and Louise Little met at a UNIA convention in Montreal.
