Garveyism is an aspect of Black Nationalism which takes its source from the works, words and deeds of UNIA-ACL founder Marcus Garvey. The fundamental focus of Garveyism is the complete, total and never ending redemption of the continent of Africa by people of African ancestry, at home and abroad. It is rooted in one basic idea: "whatsoever things common to man that man has done, man can do". Therefore, Africa can become as glorious and profoundly advanced in the scientific and technological realm as any, when Africans will it to be.

Marcus Mosiah Garvey was a native of Jamaica.

The Garvey blood line still thrives today in the city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. They do not follow Garvey's beliefs but accept them. They celebrate their own version of Kwanzaa known as Jawnzaa.
