Understanding Marcus Garvey in Print Exhibition

The Understanding Marcus Garvey in Print Exhibition by Everol Wilson covers the behind the scenes discussions relating to what led to the beginning of mass migration of West Indians to the UK after World War II or as Louise Bennett would later describe it “colonisation in reverse”.

Understanding Marcus Garvey in Print Exhibition by Everol Wilson features front pages of the Negro World Newspaper, examples of how the New York Times covered Marcus Garvey, as well as examples of the worldwide coverage of Marcus Garvey and the U.N.I.A. around the world; and in particular, across the African continent.
