Titanic mistakes sunk a black empire
About this episode
The episode explores the lesser-known chapter of Marcus Garvey's life, focusing on his shipping company and its impact on black liberation and empowerment.
Marcus Garvey is known as a civil rights activist and leader of the Pan-Africanism movement. But there’s a part of his story you may not know about. Social historian Darrel Blake tells Marc Fennell (Stuff The British Stole) the lesser known chapter in Marcus Garvey’s life - about how he established a shipping company but ended up creating a symbol of black liberation and empowerment, but not before condemning his reputation, being called a fraud and sabotaging a black empire.
