First Message to the Negroes of the World From Atlanta Prison

Marcus Garvey

February 10, 1925

Fellow Men of the Negro Race, Greeting:

I am delighted to inform you, that your humble servant is as happy in
suffering for you and our cause as is possible under the circumstances
of being viciously outraged by a group of plotters who have connived to
do their worst to humiliate you through me, in the fight for real
emancipation and African Redemption.

I do trust that you have given no credence to the vicious lies of
white and enemy newspapers and those who have spoken in reference to my
surrender. The liars plotted in every way to make it appear that I was
not willing to surrender to the court. My attorney advised me that no
mandate would have been handed down for ten or fourteen days, and is the
custom of the courts, and that would have given me time to keep
speaking engagements I had in Detroit, Cincinnati and Cleveland. I
hadn't left the city of ten hours when the liars flashed the news that I
was a fugitive. That was good news to circulate all over the world to
demoralize the millions of Negroes in America, Africa, Asia, the West
Indies and Central America, but the idiots ought to know by now that
they can't fool all the Negroes at the same time.

I do not want at this time to write anything that would make it
difficult for you to meet the opposition of the enemy without my
assistance. Suffice to it say that the history of the outrage shall
form a splendid chapter in the history of Africa redeemed, when black
men will no longer be under the heels of others, but have a civilization
and country of their own.

The whole affair is a disgrace, and the whole black world knows it.
We shall not forget. Our day may be fifty, a hundred or two hundred
years ahead, but let us watch, work and pray, for the civilization of
injustice is bound to crumble and bring destruction down upon the heads
of the unjust.

The idiots thought that they could humiliate me personally, but in
that they are mistaken. The minutes of suffering are counted, and when
God and Africa come back and measure out retribution these minutes may
multiply by thousands for the sinners. Our Arab and Riffian friends
will be ever vigilant, as the rest of Africa and ourselves shall be. Be
assured that I planted well the seed of Negro or black nationalism
which cannot be destroyed even by the foul play that has been meted out
to me.

Continue to pray for me and I shall ever be true to my trust. I want you, the black peoples of the world, to know that W.E.B. Du Bois
and that vicious Negro-hating organization known as the Association for
the Advancement of "Colored" People are the greatest enemies the black
people have in the world. I have so much to do in the few minutes at my
disposal that I cannot write exhaustively on this or any other matter,
but be warned against these two enemies. Don't allow them to fool you
with fine sounding press releases, speeches and books; they are the
vipers who have planned with others the extinction of the "black" race.
My work is just begun, and when the history of my suffering is complete,
then future generations of Negroes will have in their hands the guide
by which they shall know the "sins" of the twentieth century. I, and I
know you, too, believe in time, and we shall wait patiently for two
hundred years, if need be, to face our enemies through our posterity.

You will cheer me much if you will now do even more for the
organization than when I was among you. Hold up the hands of those who
are carrying on. Help them to make good, so that the work may continue
to spread from pole to pole.

I am also making a last minute appeal for support to the Black Cross
Navigation and Trading Company. Please send in and make your loans so
as to enable the directors to successfully carry on the work.

All I have I have given to you. I have sacrificed my home and my
loving wife for you. I entrust her to your charge, to protect and
defend her in my absence. She is the bravest little woman I know. She
has suffered and scarified with me for you; therefore, please do not
desert her at this dismal hour, when she stands alone. I have left her
penniless and helpless to face the world, because I gave you all, but
her courage is great, and I know she will hold up for you and me.

After my enemies are satisfied, in life or death I shall come back to
you to serve even as I have served before. In life I shall be the
same; in death I shall be a terror to the foes of Negro liberty. If
death has power, then count on me in death to be the real Marcus Garvey I
would like to be. If I may come in an earthquake, or a cyclone, or
plague, or pestilence, or as God would have me, then be assured that I
shall never desert you and make your enemies triumph over you. Would I
not go to hell a million times for you? Would I not like Macbeth's
ghost, walk the earth forever for you? Would I not lose the whole world
and eternity for you? Would I not cry forever before the footstool of
the Lord Omnipotent for you? Would I not die a million deaths for you?
Then, why be sad? Cheer up, and be assured that if it takes a million
years the sins of our enemies shall visit the millionth generation of
these that hinder and oppress us.

Remember that I have sworn by you and my God to serve to the end of
all time, the wreck of matter and the crash of worlds. The enemies
think that I am defeated. Did the Germans defeat the French in 1870?
Did Napoleon really conquer Europe? If so, then I am defeated, but I
tell you the world shall hear from my principles even two thousand years
hence. I am willing to wait on time for my satisfaction and the
retribution of my enemies. Observe my enemies and their children and
posterity, and one day you shall see retribution settling around them.

If I die in Atlanta my work shall then only begin, but I shall live,
in the physical or spiritual to see the day of Africa's glory. When I
am dead wrap the mantle of the Red, Black and Green around me, for in
the new life I shall rise with God's grace and blessing to lead the
millions up the heights of triumph with the colors that you well know.
Look for me in the whirlwind or the storm, look for me all around you,
for, with God's grace, I shall come and bring with me countless millions
of black slaves who have died in America and the West Indies and the
millions in Africa to aid you in the fight for Liberty, Freedom and
Life.

The civilization of today is gone drunk and crazy with its power and
by such it seeks through injustice, fraud and lies to crush the
unfortunate. But if I am apparently crushed by the system of influence
and misdirected power, my cause shall rise again to plague the
conscience of the corrupt. For this I am satisfied, and for you, I
repeat, I am glad to suffer and even die. Again, I say, cheer up, for
better days are ahead. I shall write the history that will inspire the
millions that are coming and leave the posterity of our enemies to
reckon with the hosts for the deeds of their fathers.

With God's dearest blessings, I leave you for awhile.

Eyvet Francis says:

This is the first time I've heard his voice, always seen his pictures – very powerful!!!!

Teddy Molnar says:

It is true, I pray for you to have autonomy and complete self-sufficiency. The system of the west plays people off of each other exploiting differences. That is ultimate corruption teaching people to hate themselves to turn on each other to be envious and covetous paving the way for the cruelest of inhumanity to take place. I am Hungarian and take great pride in the fact that Hungarians never had slaves never had colonies and never abused fellow human beings. MLK said the universe bend towards justice. There will be a reckoning those and the descendants of those who have systematically abused looted pillaged raped and enslaved their fellow human being will be held accountable.
