Happy Birthday!

In Jamaica:

Marcus Garvey

born

8/17/1877
(d1940)

         Some people say give me Booker T.
          But I say give me Marcus Garvey
          They said Marcus Garvey was looking for war
          So I asked them what did Booker T. did before
          They said he gave the Negro nation high class education
          And that was Booker T.'s chief ambition
          But his honor Marcus Garvey start the fight for liberty
          Universally
