Marcus Garvey: Life and Lessons is a curated companion volume to the larger documentary series The Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers. This collection distills the essence of Garvey’s thought, work, and impact through selected writings, speeches, and historical analysis. The book offers a vivid introduction to Garvey’s philosophy of Black pride, self-determination, and economic independence, and it highlights his founding of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) as one of the most influential movements in African diasporic history.
 
Structured for accessibility, this volume blends biography, political philosophy, and commentary, making it an essential resource for understanding the legacy of one of the 20th century’s most powerful Black nationalist leaders.
