Under the patronage of Jamaica’s Consul General, Oliver Mair, the program will be staged on a virtual media platform www.irielivestreamcom from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. today.
The anniversary event is a program of cultural and social enrichment paying tribute to the contributions of Garvey, Jamaica’s first National Hero. The two-hour celebration will include guest speaker, Mr. Michael Duncan, President-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). This organization was founded by Garvey dedicated to uniting and uplifting the downtrodden masses of Black people, inspiring them to attain a sense of purpose, pride and self-reliance.
Other entertainers on the show include the versatile 2-of-a-Kind harmony duo, and rising female vocalist, Nicky Blaze. There will also be performances from the Drumming Fingers Children’s Dance and Poetry Troupe, a crowd favorite from previous Garvey Extravaganzas.
The event will also commemorate the 134th anniversary of Garvey’s birth.
