Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican man of an idiosyncratic nature. He was fervent in his role of African-American advocacy, and earned his title as “easily the most controversial figure associated with Harlem in the 1920s” (Gates and Smith 984).

The Unknown It all started the day a dusty handprint appeared on the outer side of the glass dome; the day we knew we weren't the last ones still alive.
