Marcus Garvey, Part 2
(1920-1940)

This lesson looks at Marcus Garvey’s fall from grace in the 1920s, his battles with enemies in the U.S. government and the mainstream civil rights movement, his troubled marriages to Amy Jacques and Amy Ashwood (each important activists in their own right), and his final years in exile in Jamaica and England. The materials also examine some of Garvey’s key later writings and speeches, including his stirring 1925 letter from prison in Atlanta.
