Garvey Day: Celebrating the Man, The Vision and His Movement Today
Event Details:
Join us on Saturday, August 16th at 2 PM at Wo’se Community Sanctuary in Oakland, CA, as we honor the enduring legacy of Marcus Garvey — a visionary leader, Pan-Africanist, and advocate for Black empowerment. This event celebrates not only Garvey’s life but also explores how his ideas and movement continue to inspire us today.
This year’s theme emphasizes Practical Pan-Africanism and examines The UNIA in the Age of Captain Ibrahim Traoré — reflecting on how Garvey’s principles are relevant in today’s global context and ongoing struggles for sovereignty and self-determination.
From cultural performances and discussions to film screenings, this celebration is a powerful opportunity to reflect, learn, and recommit to the movement for unity and empowerment within the African diaspora.
