Perhaps the times have not yet caught up to Marcus Garvey, an early champion of ethnic entrepreneurship

摘要

Marcus Garvey felt that Blacks should have a set of objectives for themselves and that the most effective and efficient way to do this was to become actively involved in business. One could be either an employer or an employee, but regardless of the choice, every self- respecting person should find a role, ac- cording to his or her own preference, ability, and general fitness. While Garvey did not criticize work- Ing for someone else, he felt that being A proprietor or employer was better. The Role of entrepreneur, as Garvey saw it, Was best because it involved creating a New enterprise(Negro World 1919).
