“To read the histories of the world, peoples and races written by white men, would make the Negro feel and believe that he never amounted to anything in the creation…but that does not make the truth unreal…We are satisfied to know…that our race gave the first great civilization to the world; and, for centuries, Africa, our ancestral home, was the seat of learning.” – Marcus Garvey (1887-1940)
