GARVEY SPEAKS Issue #36 December 5th, 2005
UNMASKING DECEPTION
Steadily we are moving ahead, and I have absolutely no doubt that in a short while, if we keep up the glorious spirit, we will of ourselves observe a healthy and helpful change for the good of our cause. We must now prepare to unmask deception within our race. Our greatest ills today come not form without but from within and caused through that blatant hypocrisy that seems to be akin to so many of the so called men who have been our professed leaders for so long. Our organization, and the race, have reached the point where we need no flattery to succeed and move ahead, but must expose the truth for its own sake. The school of deception of which so many of our leaders are graduates, may as well close its doors, for we of the Universal Negro Improvement Association shall surely expose the hypocrisy and scheme of its leadership without mercy. There is a great work for us to do, and I do hope that as our convention period draws to a close we will re-dedicate ourselves to duty and service to the great cause. With my best wishes for our success I have the honor to be, Your obedient servant, Marcus Garvey Written August 26, 1923. Reprinted in The Philosophy & Opinions of Marcus Garvey.
