On Tuesday October 24, 2006 Liberty Hall received its most
famous visitor to date, renowned African American actor and
humanitarian, Danny Glover. The star of films such as Lethal
Weapon 1-4, The Colour Purple and Beloved was
in Jamaica on other business, but was anxious to stop by Liberty
Hall to view the Marcus Mosiah Garvey Multimedia Museum and
other facilities. Mr. Glover is a goodwill ambassador to the
United Nations Development Programme, and a self-professed
admirer of Marcus Garvey’s teachings. He remarked in an
interview with The Gleaner’s Flair Magazine on the day of
his trip :
“I believe in
the Pan-Africanist movement. Marcus Garvey was the father to
this whole expansion of ourselves. We have to go through Garvey
to get an understanding of who we are as Africans and we owe a
lot to him.”
Of his visit to the
Marcus Mosiah Garvey Multimedia Museum, he wrote in our guest
book:
“As
I wander through the museum, my own memory comes alive!”
