The sisters and brothers who read the SCOOP newspaper are well aware that I am a student of Garveyism and an active, dues-paying member of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL). This Great Association was founded by Marcus Garvey in 1914 and continues to promote racial uplift and the symbolic universal raising of the Red, Black, and Green Flag!
The image of Marcus Garvey is a universal symbol of a successful example of Pan-African Nationalism. Marcus Garvey and the membership of the UNIA-ACL showed the Black man and woman how to build an independent Black government in the best interest of ALL BLACK PEOPLE worldwide! His impact is still being felt today.
Our courageous freedom Fighter and living General Sundiata Acoli, who is now a free man after unjustly serving over (50) years in the penitentiary, informs us that “the U.S. government set Garvey up to imprison and deport him, and they used everything in their power to wipe out the record of his most phenomenal life as a Black freedom fighter. As a result, whole generations of African children grew up and never knew of him or saw his name in history books. They could wipe him out of history books, but they couldn’t wipe out the impact of his work, his spirit, and the influence on the many people he inspired. Many would go on to become leaders of their people, like Kwame Nkrumah, Jomo Kenyatta, Godfrey Binaisa, and even Ho Chi Minh, the great Viet Nam Nationalist, who, as a young merchant seaman, attended UNIA meetings in Harlem whenever his ship docked in New York.”
Sundiat Acoli brings to our attention that “at a time when we were despised throughout the world and ashamed of Africa, he taught us to love ourselves, to be proud of ourselves and Africa, to believe in ourselves and to depend on ourselves.”

Why did Joe Biden not keep his promise? His son still deserves justice
Just once. Just once, amid all the times that reporters asked President Joe Biden whether he would give a pardon to his son Hunter, who was facing a possible federal prison sentence, I wish I could have heard Jolly Joe give the sort of response that the late Chicago Mayor Richard J. Daley offered to such unwelcome questions.
