| | 02.26.2003 - Unsung, ‘veiled’ Garvey takes center stage |
 | | It is Amy Garvey (né Jacques) — intellectual, writer, Pan Africanist, feminist, activist, wife, and mother — whom Berkeley historian Ula Yvette Taylor brings to light in a new book, “The Veiled Garvey” (University of North Carolina Press, 2002). |
 | | Born in Jamaica in 1895 to an educated “brown” family, Amy Jacques suffered from bouts of malaria and, in order to live in a malaria-free area, moved in 1917 to Harlem. |
 | | Taylor’s work on Amy Jacques Garvey, along with her research projects before and since, helps to delineate lines of influence connecting phases of fl feminist thought and fl political activism through time. |
