~ This month, the Council took a moment to honor the birthdays of two influential figures who have left an indelible mark on our society: James Baldwin and Marcus Garvey. As a literary genius and a fearless advocate for civil rights, Baldwin's contributions have had a profound impact on our understanding of race, identity, and social justice. Born on August 2, 1924 in Harlem, New York, Baldwin's powerful essays, novels, and plays continue to inspire and challenge us to confront the injustices of our time.

Similarly, Marcus Garvey's legacy as a pioneering leader and visionary is still felt today. Born on August 17, 1887 in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica, Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in 1914. This organization became the largest Black-led organization in history with millions of members worldwide. Garvey's mission was to promote economic self-reliance, social justice, and the establishment of a Black nation.
The Council recognized the significance of celebrating both Baldwin and Garvey's birthdays as it offers an opportunity to reflect on their lasting impact and legacies. Their lives serve as a reminder of the power that words and actions hold in the fight for a better world.
