Marcus Garvey Curriculum Introduced In Jamaican Schools

Jamaica isn't already doing this?! I guess better late than never. From Caribbean360, about the late pro-capitalist leader: "Jamaican black consciousness pioneer and entrepreneur Marcus Garvey will have a place of prominence in the Jamaican school curriculum from this coming academic year."

The article continues: "Education Minister, Reverend Ronald Thwaites, has revealed that the teachings of Garveyism and the subject of Civics will be officially introduced to the school curriculum during the 2012/13 academic year. He explained that the Garveyism programme will be officially launched on August 17 at the Marcus Garvey Technical High School in St. Ann [Mr. Garvey's hometown]."
