Brown, NNPA Newswire Correspondent @StacyBrownMedia Dr. Julius Garvey probably felt like channeling his father, the late civil rights leader Marcus Garvey, when he responded to Fox News analyst Ka- tie Pavlich’s misguided comment that America should get “credit for being the first country to end slavery in 150 years.” Garvey simply laughed and brushed off such superficial racist rhetoric. “It shows that she has no clue,” Garvey said during a Black Press Week lun- cheon in Washington, DC just days af- ter Pavlich’s remarks. “Look, it’s pretty said,” he said. He also said a healthy discourse on reparations is long overdue. “Reparations is a conversation that is in-depth and involved and it’s a long and necessary conversation,” Garvey said. Garvey was born on September 17, 1933 in Kingston, Jamaica. He graduated from Wolmer’s Trust In 1974, Garvey High School for Boys in Kingston in was named attend-

After spending nearly three years in jail, President Calvin Coolidge, under public pressure in 1927, com- muted Garvey’s sentence but still deported him. The senior Garvey wasn’t allowed to return to Amer- ica and his son has said that all of the momentum his father built up on issues of racial justice stalled. Marcus Garvey died in London in 1940. “I wish to clear my father’s name and to continue to help Africans wherever we are in the U.S., Caribbean and on the continent,” Dr. Garvey said. He said reparations are necessary if there is ever to be a complete healing of the evil slave trade. “WE are the original people and the original civilization. Af- rican praxis directs us to the truth that we are at home in the universe and should treat it as our home,” Dr. Garvey said. It’s also up to those of African descent to assume some responsibility in carrying forward the legacies of his father and other civil rights leaders, Dr. Garvey said. “That will move us further along the arc of redemp- tion, renaissance and the redevelopment of our peo- ple as a civilization,” he said.
