Vice President Kamala Harris, our Symbol of Marcus Garvey Self- Determination & Empowerment 

by Quinn Lisa

Marcus Garvey stands as a magnificent symbol of resilience and empowerment within the Pan-African community. His profound vision for unity through his movement titled the United Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) helped glue together the African community after its disparities of self-hatred. 

Additionally, Garvey was an advocate for global unity among those of African heritage, emulating pieces of a puzzle coming together to create a greater picture.  This is reflecting our current mobilization of Black African Americans and Caribbean people for our Vice President Kamala Harris to win the presidency and enter the White House. 

Marcus Garvey’s vision for Pan-Africanism could have inspired Vice President Kamala Harris to advocate for solidarity and unity because of her similar alliance in the African-American community. Furthermore, Vice President Kamala Harris can be compared to Marcus Garvey, the historical legend, because of her manifestation of self-determination. 

As former Vice President and now Presidential candidate for the Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris has a trajectory in American politics that emulates a reflection in a mirror of purpose, politics, and prophecy. 

Vice President Kamala Harris displays the astonishing teachings and abilities as Marcus Garvey. Our vice president, Kamala Harris, is the first female, African-

Caribbean American, and South Asian candidate on her journey campaigning to become the first  female president of the United States. This depicts her audacious strength and self-determination. 

Marcus Garvey’s most popular achievement, establishing the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA),  promoting economic independence, self-reliance, and unity among people of African descent, can be seen as an influence to Vice President Kamala Harris’ aspirations because of her trailblazing

 journey for African-Americans and even Women’s Rights. 

Vice President Harris’ achievements align with Garvey’s ideals like stars in the solar system because of their equal aspirations towards Representation, Self-Determination and Equality. 

This is the reason the awesome combination and contributions of Vice President Kamala Harris’ strength and fortitude with the opulent Marcus Garvey’s profound philosophy, Self Determination and Resilience will make her accomplishment for the White House  inevitable. 

In 1927, President Calvin Coolidge deported Marcus Garvey as an undesirable alien. 

In 2024, President Joseph Biden nominated Vice President Kamala Harris to be the nominee for the Democratic Party. America is bound for Marcus Garvey, an amazing symbol, reflecting in President Kamala Harris, at the White House. 

Bravo!!
