MARCUS GARVEY HAD SHORT HAIR


How in the heck did the guy above influence reggae? And rastas? There's a few links below if you're interested in learning, particularly those of you who know Garvey was a significant figure but don't really know why. You know-it-alls might find the thing from the Jamaican Gleaner interesting (last link below). If you're just here for music, there's one song below (the most awesome "Marcus Garvey" by Burning Spear) and a link to five more Garvey related ditties.
