re: #323 albusteve

at least Garvey was ten times smarter than the fools with hoods…Garvey may have had some wild ideas but he was a very intelligent, decent man

Yeah but he was rightly discredited because of it, and it vindicated his critics like DuBois. When that news hit the Black press, Garvey got dropped like a hot potato. His influence didn’t stop, e.g. Malcolm X, but he really mopped himself into a corner with that one.
