Janie gets excited and curious about Marcus Garvey. She is willing to research his works and appreciates herself as a part of the Black Community.

| That's righ Janie. We deserve to be a proud people. We should appreciate the way we look. There are books in the library that can tell you about him and his works; you should read one, Janie. | |

| | |
| Definately, Grandpa. I will be a proud black girl from now on. He seems like a brave man to fight for his people - and I'm happy he did! | |
