Lance Neita | Lest We Forget Marcus Garvey

The month of June passed without much, if any, homage being paid to our first National Hero, Marcus Garvey. The month is significant because Garvey died on June 10, 1940, and suitable acknowledgment is customarily paid to our national heroes on their respective anniversaries.Disturbingly, this milestone passed with muted observances for a man whose life and work shaped not only Jamaica but the global black experience.
