THE black race needs Garveyism now more than maybe ever before. It appears that, for the most part, the majority of Africans are not conscious of their own dignity and the dignity of their fellow black brothers and sisters. We have failed the younger generation in this regard, in that we have not imbued them with any sense of pride about what it means to be a member of our noble race.
If the current generation of black leaders and parents were properly steeped in Garveyism, then every person, regardless of age, would live in a state of being conscious that they are worthy of respect, as they would have learnt the lessons that Marcus Garvey taught on topics such as having a sound character. He said: "Men and women who want to be of use to themselves and humanity must have good character. The greatest prop to character is honesty. Honesty is the best policy. Let no one believe that you are dishonest. If they believe you are dishonest you are doomed. You will never be able to rise to a position of respect and trust — except by some mere accident."
