the Universal Negro Improvement Association, dedicated to promoting
African-Americans and resettlement in Africa. He was one of the first leaders
of African ancestry in the western hemisphere. He has been hailed as the one
who started the conscious movement of African in the West and led to the

black empowerment all over the world. Read About Marcus Garvey
On this day in 2012 in Kenya, Bob Marley’s grand daughter Donisha
will lead a group of drummers to play drums and remember Marcus Garvey. At 1pm in
the community of Waithaka near Kawangware, Donisha will pay respect to Marcus
Garvey with a ONE LOVE MOMENT. This is a day when you can play a good song,
sing or hum the song, hug your brother, call a friend, share knowledge, feed a
stranger for Marcus Garvey. One Love Moment
