Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) was born in Jamaica and travelled widely examining the status of blacks in Europe and America. He decided that they could only achieve parity with whites by uniting under their African heritage. He was a major leader in the Pan-African Movement, and also supported the continued colonization of Liberia in Africa. His movement of "African Redemption" became known as Garveyism, and was one basis for the Rastafari religious movement, where he is revered as a prophet.
