Ladies, you wearing these?

I was actually watching another video on YouTube when Marcus Garvey's documentary popped up as a suggestion. When I saw it as a suggestion, this song immediately came to mind.

Back when this album came out, I didn't have access to the internet the way we do now. This album was released in the new millennium around 21 years ago. My brother burned a couple of songs from her album to the end of Third Day for me, which got me interested in listening to the entire album. I got ahold of his CDs and copied them to cassette because I could do that with my boom-box/radio, whatever you want to call it. The song was written by Bob Marley. Take a listen.

So. I've got like 6 or 7 minutes left in the documentary, right? What I've gotten so far is that after he was deported, the remaining UNIA members started meeting in secret so that they could keep their jobs that put food on the tables and a roof over their heads. As usual, one of us was the one who sold him out. J. Edgar Hoover YT-passing low-down MF-ing arse had a vendetta for black people for whatever his personal reasons were and would have had his own relatives killed if they mentioned he was YT-passing.

Anyway, back on topic. Why were the secret meetings and word of mouth discontinued as far as UNIA went? Malcolm X's family's connection to Garvey was mind-blowing.
