Born on August 17, 1887, the Jamaican-born leader became one of the most influential voices of the Pan-African movement, championing Black pride, economic independence, self-determination, and global unity.
His vision inspired generations of Black leaders and movements around the world—and his legacy continues to shape conversations about Black ownership and empowerment today.
On his birthday, we remember the man, the movement, and the mission.
