Garvey vs Washington: uplift by ownership or by empire?
MARCUS GARVEY vs WASHINGTON go head to head — and every jab is rooted in real history.
You told my people to cast down their buckets where they stand; I told them to raise their eyes and build a nation of their own.
A man must first own a brick before he dreams of a palace, Mr. Garvey; skill and property earn the respect no flag can grant.
Respect begged from another man's table is charity, not freedom; a race without power is a guest in someone else's house.
And a race without bread is a ruler of nothing, sir; I built schools while you sold shares in a ship that never reached the shore.
