This is NOT a speech by the Hon. Marcus Garvey, but rather a PERFORMANCE by the Guyanese actor Ron Bobb-Semple.

Any SERIOUS student of Garveyism should recognize the historical inconsistencies.

There are only TWO known recordings of Mr. Garvey speaking, which were made in late July or early August 1921 and released as a two-sided record.

They are widely available online, but YouTude doesn't allow me to post any links. I have the honor to be

Cordial-Lee yours,

i was sort of thinking that, but i didn't know for sure...

i think i have heard the recorded speeches that you were talking about... the one where he sounds quite monotone...

do you know if Marcus Garvey actually said what was later performed by Ron Bobb-Semple in this video?

[pauldarwinlee]

Most of Bobb-Semple's performance is based on a non-literal reading of two letters:

1) "First Message to the Negroes of the World from Atlanta Prison," written on Feb. 8, 1925, and published on the front-page of "The Negro World."

2) "African Fundamentalism: A Racial Hierarchy and Empire for Africans," a "racial" manifesto written on June 6, 1925, and published in the same paper.

However, he never said nor wrote the closing, "I leave you for a while. One looooove."

i think i'll have to read a few books of his speeches and stuff... i sort of thought it was odd that he bounces around in his speech... talking about one thing then switching to another...

i also thought it was a bit suspicious for him to say One Love :P

thanks for clearing things up

400 million black people in Africa LOL! Try 1 billion now and growing.

i love when he says "they have sprung from the same family tree of obscurity as we have" @ 4:56 so so true. good and evil sounds cleche, but these krakkas and the ones who think like krakkas really are evil..and the BLACK MAN AND WOMEN ARE GOOD

BLACK POWER IS A GOD SCIENCE!!!!
