Now a professor of art at RIT, Luvon Sheppard was MAG’s coordinator of neighborhood services when he drew this portrait of the controversial Jamaican orator and activist. Marcus Garvey was perhaps best known for founding the Back-to-Africa movement, which called for a return of the African diaspora to its ancestral homelands. He famously feuded with W. E. B. DuBois, another activist and the first African American to graduate from Harvard, who described him unsympathetically as “a little, fat black man; ugly, but with intelligent eyes and a big head.”
