Afro-caribbeans that changed the game

Are we invisible? Have we not made history? Did we at least get an honorable mention? This one is for the mentioned, and the forgotten! It’s Black History Month! The Black Community has fought to be where we are now. We want to highlight a couple of people that participated in that fight. In today’s episode, we will be discussing the history made by Marcus Garvey and the ideas of Arthur Lewis.
