Negro with a Hat: Marcus Garvey

At one time during the first half of the twentieth century, Marcus Garvey was the most famous black man on the planet. This title chronicles Garvey's life, the failed business ventures, his misguided negotiations with the Ku Klux Klan, the two wives and the premature obituaries that contributed to his lonely, tragic death.
