S13E6: Marcus Garvey: Look for Me in the Whirlwind
S13E60.02/12/200155 min
Recalling racial-pride advocate Marcus Garvey (1887-1940), whose grand (some said grandiose) vision included an Africa run by Africans. Garvey's Harlem-based United Negro Improvement Association was more than just a civil-rights group -- it was a business and publishing empire.

Still, says narrator Carl Lumbly, Garvey "changed forever the way black Americans looked at themselves and the world.
