By this time nearly the whole civilized world will have been informed of the commutation of the five year sentence which was being served by Marcus Garvey, founder and indomitable leader of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, in the Federal Prison at Atlanta, Georgia, According to an Associated Press despatch published in a local daily on Thursday morning, under the conditions of the commutation of his sentence, the famous leader will be deported from the United States. It is presumed, therefore, that he will be sent back to Jamaica, the land of his birth.
Marcus Garvey attracted the attention of the world some years ago with his uncompromising demand for equity for the Negro, and back to Africa movement.
After carrying on for several years with the support of the newspaper, the NEGRO WORLD, mouthpiece of his movement, the concensus of opinion was that he had successfully directed the attention of the white race to the Negro and his treatment of him, as well as the Negroes attention to the possibilities within himself. His stinging truth had the other races indicted before the world tribunal of equity. This singularly conspicious achieve.
ment, naturally drafted all Negroes, his enemies included, to sympathise with him on his imprisonmeat for a technical crime not committed by him in bad faith.
Well thinking Negroes believed that Garvey basic contention on their behalf is in order, but that his efforts to alleviate their sufferings were impracticable. Hence, the sentiment of Negroes the world over, including that of not a few prominent white people, the press, and organizations, were in favour of his release from prison. rvey will, in all probability, be deported to Jamaica where he will be protected by the British flag and come under the laws of the British Empire. It is not expected that the change of location will alter the leader opinion with regard his race, but with his wide, varied and practical experience, it is believed that he will be able to modify his program so as to conform with the commonly accepted conditions urder which a fair and dignified fight for right, must be fought. Few have really caught up with the real spirit of Garveyism. The majority bis followers bave been originally attracted by the leader pronouncements which they interpreted to be a move for a wholesale emigration of Negroes to Africa, after the various world pwers have been dispossessed of their holdings there. Many liked Garvey for his grandiloquent platform speeches and otheres followed him and his movement solely for the theoret cal pomp, gay regalias and paraphernalias.
There were few reaily intelligent followers of Garvey and his movement who were true because they had caught his vision and were ready to sacrifice with him for the cause.
We always subordinated all the superficialities which decorated Garvey program. Beneath them we could discern a wave of a genuine awakening of the Negro. There is the actual awakening! But this will only be seen and appreciated after all the froth and bubble bave subsided and that indistructible element of racial success self preservation has entered into the Negro. There was a time when he was disposed to object to beingựcalled a Negro; now he glories in being called what he really is. Garvey is, to a very great extent, responsible for this race conscious ness.
We believe that the United States Department of Justice has done the right thing in freeing Marcus Garvey.
we hope, therfore, that the future leadership of this Negro whose soul is impregnated with the love of bis race, will be that of a sane and dignified one. 1 STILL ON SALE West Indies Cricket History And grave berations, iated, sod often in her anger would punish me severely for no cause whatever.
