Spiritual Black Leaders

Marcus Garvey

“GOD and Nature first made us what we are, and out of our creative genius we make ourselves what we want to be.  Follow always that great law.  Let the sky and GOD be our limit and ETERNITY our measurement.”  [Marcus Garvey]

Today marks the one-hundred-twenty-third birthday of one of our most remarkable leaders – Marcus Mosiah Garvey.

Marcus Garvey was born on August 17, 1887 in Jamaica.  He was one of eleven children.  Unfortunately, nine of his siblings died during childhood, leaving him and his older sister, Indiana surviving into adulthood.

Martin Luther King Jr.

"We must learn to live together as brothers or perish together as fools."

In 1957 he was elected president of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an organization formed to provide new leadership for the now burgeoning civil rights movement. The ideals for this organization he took from Christianity; its operational techniques from Gandhi. In the eleven-year period between 1957 and 1968, King traveled over six million miles and spoke over twenty-five hundred times, appearing wherever there was injustice, protest, and action; and meanwhile he wrote five books as well as numerous articles.

Sojourner Truth

“[That little man in black says] woman can't have as much rights as man because Christ wasn't a woman. Where did your Christ come from? . . . From God and a woman. Man has nothing to do with him.”

Coretta Scott King

Struggle is a never ending process. Freedom is never really won, you earn it and win it in every generation.

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul

Rosa Parks

I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen.

Each person must live their life as a model for others
