Marcus Garvey the American expatriat!!!

[Dr.Dudd]

Despite labor and other reforms, black riots recurred, notably <div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">those of 1938, which were caused mainly by unemployment and resentment against British racial policies. Jamaican blacks had been considerably <span style="font-weight: bold">influenced by the theories of black nationalism promulgated by the American expatriate Marcus Garvey.</span> A royal commission investigating the 1938 riots recommended an increase of economic development funds and a faster restoration of representative government for Jamaica. In 1944 universal adult suffrage was introduced, and a new constitution provided for a popularly elected house of representatives</div></div>

You mean that no one could tell me that Garvey was really American???
