In 1921, over 100 years ago, Marcus Garvey said,

“If you want liberty you yourselves must strike the blow. If you must be free, you must become so through your own effort … Until you produce what the white man has produced you will not be his equal.”

What did he mean by that?

Answer:"If you want liberty," claimed Garvey to a meeting held in 1921, "you yourselves must strike the blow. If you must be free, you must become so through your own effort." But Garvey knew African Americans would not take action if they did not change their perceptions of themselves.
