On September 25, 1923, thousands gathered along Columbus's Mount Vernon Avenue for a parade honoring Marcus Garvey, who was visiting the city during a nationwide tour. On the anniversary of this historic event, Africana Studies Professor Dr. Mark Christian and COSI President and CEO Dr. Frederic Bertley will discuss the endurance of Garvey's legacy. Their conversation will explore how family histories illuminate global histories, and how the ideals of Garveyism and the UNIA still resonate today.
