— Hon. Marcus Mosiah Garvey Centennial 1887-1987 Pinback
No Place, No Producer. Unbound. No producer, place or date, presumed circa 1987. 2 1/8 inches in diameter. Safety pin style back. A pinback celebrating the centennial of Marcus Garvey's birth. Born in Jamaica, Garvey moved to the US in 1916 and toured the country lecturing on his ideas and the UNIA. Hoping to promote economic independence within the Black community, he worked to start several businesses but was eventually charged and convicted of mail fraud. Often considered a Black nationalist, his views influenced many subsequent Black leaders. VERY GOOD+ condition with perhaps a hint of toning and fading. Very Good .
