I have come across so many weaklings who profess to be leaders, and in the test I have found them but the slaves to a nobler class. They perform the will of their masters without question. Dr. Martin Luther King and the Afrikan civil rights movemant in the US took many of their cues from the teachings of Mosiah Garvey. Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions.
Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
The Zion Coptic Church was also inspired by the teachings of Mosiah Garvey. They have, however, chosen to interpret the teachings in a way that pays only lip service to them. While it is not the role of the Virtual Niahbingi to be unduly critical of any one or any organization, it must be said that these Coptics place undue emphasis on the herbs, which tends to skew their priorities. Marcus Garvey's teachings on the theme of Afrika for Afrikans would later galvanize the struggle for a reclamation of Independence from colonial powers and Nkrumah was among a select group of intellectuals and freedom fighters which pressed for the abolition of the imposed colonial presence in Afrika. Mosiah Garvey advocated the physical repatriation of all Afrikans in the Diaspora, a key tenet of Rastafari.
