Marcus Garvey Birthday

Word challenge:  BRABBLE


Happy Birthday!  On this day, 123 years ago, Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica. While growing up, he decided that he and other black people needed to take charge of their own destinies. He went on to devote his entire life to that cause. Although he tangled with J. Edgar Hoover in the course of his attempts, Marcus Garvey always advocated pride in black culture. He inspired hope and he influenced a renewed interest in African roots and history that would continue to grow long after his passing.  (for more information, see Marcus Garvey: Black Nationalist at my website http://www.peggycaravantes.com/)

"I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions." ~ James Michener

"Brabble" means a petty dispute or squabble.
