The Life and Legacy of Marcus Garvey

Central Alabama Caribbean American Organization (CACAO) has earned a competitive grant from the Alabama Humanities Alliance. This award will facilitate the presentation of the Roy T. Anderson documentary The Life and Legacy of Marcus Garvey, to be shown on February 5th at the UAB Hill Center Alumni.   In addition to the grant, the documentary is made possible due to a collaboration between CACAO and the UAB African American Studies Program.  The film will be moderated by Mr. Geoffrey Philp, a Garvey scholar, poet, author, and recent recipient of the Musgrave Medal.

The screening and conversation will be held on campus at 5:00pm. February 5th at the Hill Center Alumni Theater, 1400 University Drive, Birmingham, Al 35249.

The presentation of this documentary during Black History Month assists the Central Alabama Caribbean American Organization in fulfilling one of their goals of sharing Caribbean culture with the citizens of Central Alabama — by highlighting historical connections between members of the Caribbean diaspora and the United States.
