The purpose
The mission of the Marcus Garvey Bronze Sculpture project is to erect a monument of the Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa.
the goal
In his lifetime Mr. Garvey never set foot on African soil. By erecting the Marcus Garvey Bronze Sculpture in Addis Ababa we will not only honor the legacy of one of the architects of the Pan African independence movement, but will also highlight Ethiopia as a focal point for Pan- Africanists to engage in constructing a unifying African heritage and destiny.
The petition
The idea of Marcus Garvey Bronze Sculpture Project was initiated as a result of a meeting held at the African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia in the office of His Excellency Kwesi Quartey, the Deputy Chairperson of the African Union Commission on November 11, 2019.
