Perhaps the times have not yet caught up to Marcus Garvey, an early Champion of Ethnic Entrepreneurship

In his lifetime, Marcus Garvey (1887-1940) achieved accomplishments on many fronts. He also was very controversial. One of Garvey's most important themes was the role of entrepreneurship in improving the economic position of Blacks. Now, nearly 60 years after his death, is an opportune time to revisit his thoughts, accomplishments, standards and goals and reflect on their impact on the current state of minority entrepreneurship.
