The late Jamaican-born pro-capitalist leader was the focus of a legal seminar at the University of Miami. From the Caribbean Journal: "The seminar, chaired by attorney David Rowe, a law professor at the
University of Miami School of Law, looked at Garvey’s history and impact
throughout the region and the United States — from the story of the
Black Star Line to the relevance of Garvey’s economic theories to the
McDuffie Riots in 1980s Miami."
More: "'I think his legacy is really important for young black people to
carry on,' said attorney Niyala Harrison, the keynote speaker at the
seminar and an adjunct professor at Miami-Dade College. 'It’s about
respect, redemption of one’s self, self-reliance, doing work for your
community, I think those are the lasting ways we can embody Garvey’s
ideas.'"
