You might be familiar with the names of early Civil Rights Pioneers such as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois. But have you heard of Marcus Garvey? A Jamaican man whose meteoric rise in America brought the attention of J. Edgar Hoover and caused the President himself to order his deportation. The often overlooked and controversial figure of early civil rights coined the phrase "black is beautiful", inspired Malcolm X, and was one of the first to push the idea of Pan-Africanism.
