Greetings!!
The Honourable Marcus Garvey is an Enlightened Being, that no Person of Afrikan Descent, no matter where they live in the World, should ever forget.
Yesterday was his Birthday.
He may have left this Physical plane, but he still exists in and around US.
We who feel his SPIRIT owe it to those who still exist below the level of Conscious Awareness to keep the LIGHT of His SPIRIT always burning brightly.
The Philosophies And Opinions of Marcus Garvey should have been, should be, and must become the Philosophical Foundation that allows the peoples of Afrika to rediscover themselves and establish for themselves, a Society and a SYSTEM of CIVILITY and Governance that REFLECTS THEMSELVES.
Below are a few quotes from a Speech given to the People of Montserrat in Montserrat by the Hon. Marcus Garvey.
==================
"When you refuse to learn, then those who learn must lead you.
God has given every man a mind, and whether he is black or white, he can use that mind."....
"Therefore, anybody who is thinking in the particular is bound to have the advantage over the man who is not thinking."...
" If you don't know values, if you can't calculate values, whether scientific or otherwise, then it's just your bad luck."..
"I regard you as just part of a great number of people who need help, proper leadership and proper guidance toward a destiny that is worthy of men...."
"So, my friends, man's duty is to get intelligence. Get intelligence consistent with the society in which you live so that you may be a credit to the civilization to which you form a part, and may my words help you to rediscover yourselves."..

==========================================
Then, as Now... "The Battlefield For The Continued Oppression Of The Many By The Few Is Your Mind."

Struggle is born where ever injustice, opression and powerlessness exists.Organised Movements empower the powerless to overcome those who profit from their oppression.

Where are we?
Montserrat, is one of the United Kingdom's few remaining Colonies in the Caribbean.
i note with interest, and a huge degree of respect and support, that a recent United Nations Report on the remaining colonies documented the Colony of Anguilla's determination to seek full internal Self Government.
i note, with some degree of perplexity, that the Colony of Montserrat and its constant position on its Right to Self Determination is not even mentioned.
Of all the remaining colonies of the United Kingdom, Montserrat has made its presence at more decolonisation meetings than any other Caribbean Colony.
Through out the years, Montserrat's position has been consistent.
At the 2001 Decolonisation meeting in Cuba, Montserrat anticipated the Administering Powers intent to incorporate the remaining Colonies.
At that meeting the representative from Montserrat was clear.
Montserrat has no desire to be delisted under some false assumption and Montserrat's vision for its future, is to eventually exercise it's RIGHT to Self Government.
Despite all that the Colony of Montserrat has experinced since then, that position still holds sway.
The United Kindom's attempt to assure Montserrat's incorporation into Great Britain appropiately called "incorporation by stealth" is still ongoing.
The so called constitutional review, has turned out to be nothing more than Foreign Commonwealth Office representatives attemtps to get the Government of Montserrat to agree to abdicate certain fundamental Rights by signing a "constitutional agreement" that continues and even increases the Administering Power's authority over the Colony.
To its credit, the present Government of Montserrat has resisted and as of this posting has not yet signed of on any "constitutional" arrangements that carries the Colony further back into an ancient colonial era, rather than forward into a modern day agreement.
The Colony of Montserrat is presently facing many challenges.
The United Kingdom, has so far taken advantage of every one of theose challenges to further ensure that the Colony of Montserrat remains a dependent territory of England.
