MMG Foundation

THE RT. EXCELLENT MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY.
(17 AUGUST 1887 - 10 JUNE 1940)

“ If death has power, then count on me to be the real Marcus Garvey I would like to be!

If I may come in an earthquake or a plague or a pestilence, or if God would help me, then be assured that I shall NEVER desert you and make your enemies triumph over you!

Will I not go to hell a million times for you?

If I should die in Atlanta, my work will only just then begin. For I shall live in the physical or the spiritual to see the day of Africa's Glory.

When I am dead, wrap the mantle of the red, the black and the green around me, for in the new life I shall RISE UP with God's grace and blessings to lead the millions of the heights in the triumph, that you well know!

Look for me in a whirlwind or a storm! Look for me all around you! For with God's grace, I shall come back with countless millions of Black men and women who have died in America, those who have died in the West Indies, and those who have died in Africa, to aid you in the fight for liberty, freedom and life!”
