Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican political activist, publisher, philosopher, journalist, entrepreneur, and orator. He was the founder of the UNIA(Universal Negro Improvement Association) and the ACL(African Communities League). Mental slavery is a state of mind where discerning between liberation and enslavement is twisted.
Emancipate is to set free, especially from legal, social, or political restrictions. It’s when one becomes trapped by misinformation about yourself and the world. This book is a collection of sayings by Marcus Garvey during his lifetime that was spoken to the men of Africa and others as well. I call these sayings "positive affirmation" to the black man. Two of his memorable sayings are "Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds," commonly associated with Bob Marley, actually originated with Marcus Garvey and “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery, for though others may free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.” Black men, you need to pick up this book and get inspired. You don't have to live in Africa or be African to learn from his teachings. Very powerful book.
