    New on TikTok: Marcus Garvey said, “History is the landmark by which we are directed into the true course of life.” What is the meaning of “History is the landmark by which we are directed into the true course of life”? Garvey is saying history is not a relic—it is a compass. It points us back to who we are and where we must go. Why does forgetting history matter? Forgetting opens the door for others to define us. Remembering restores identity and direction. How can we live this truth today? Speak one ancestor’s name. Hold their story in silence. Let memory be our prayer. We walk among those who forget. Forget the mothers who nursed freedom in whispers. Forget the fathers who carved paths with nothing but their hands. Forget the migrations, the uprisings, the songs that carried truth when our tongues could not. And in the forgetting, we let others tell us who we are. But Garvey calls us back—our history is no relic; it is the compass in our hearts. Today, let us pause and speak one ancestor’s name. Hold their story in silence. Let memory be our prayer. Remember: history is not behind us—it lives within us. #MarcusGarvey #MarcusGarveyQuote #BlackHistory #AncestralMemory thegarveyclassroom.com JSON-LD Schema: { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "VideoObject", "name": "Marcus Garvey on History as Our Compass", "description": "Marcus Garvey said: 'History is the landmark by which we are directed into the true course of life.'
