Garvey Day: Celebrating the Man, The Vision and His Movement Today

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.
