Brilliant. Thanks for this. Unfortunately, due to health issues, I probably will not be able to attend.
Well done for publishing your book.
Greetings Zhana
Thanks for comments
1. The 2014/15 Xtra History Sessions have 2 more left: May 11 and 25
2. Thanks for links.
3. We actually published a book called African Voices: Quotations by People of African Descent (Kwaku & Ms Serwah; BTWSC) which naturally has quotations by the likes of Marcus Garvey & Malcolm X. It's available for silly prices on Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/African-Voices-Quotations-People-Descent/dp... or a more modest sum of £8+ p&p via btwsc@hotmail.com. Besides, we usually have a copy at the Xtra History Sessions - the next one is actually focused of Garvey's quotes and what we can learn from them. Cheers
Unfortunately, I was not able to attend. Garvey was such an important figure, it is vital that we learn about his contribution.
