This documentary examines the career of the pioneer black nationalist; it ranges from his birthplace in Jamaica to the United States, Europe and Africa. Garvey (1887-1940) captured the imagination of black Americans during the 1920s with his impassioned call for an independent black nation. The program shows how Garvey's legacy inspired the civil rights movement in the U.S. and liberation movements throughout the Third World.
