"We can not “ignore the significance of the lessons of history,” continued Mrs Iddi, before repeating one of Garvey’s famous quotations: “A people without knowledge of their past history, origin and culture, is like a tree without roots,” to which she made reference to the recent racially-motivated disturbances and death in Charlottesville. The lessons of Charlottesville remind us that even though progress has been made in the struggle for racial equality, a lot more needs to be done."
