The Marcus Garvey Library
This foundation stone was laid by Marcus Garvey Jnr 7th August 1987. It commemorates the centenary of the life and works of the right honourable brother Marcus Mosiah Garvey the Afrikan born in Jamaica W.I. on 17th August 1887.
The people of Haringey and indeed throughout the world honour his life commitment to his people in regenerating black pride, self reliance and confidence.
This is the foundation stone for the building.
Site: Marcus Garvey - Haringey (1 memorial)
N15, Philip Lane, 1, Marcus Garvey Library
The foundation stone for the building, which the library shares with a leisure centre, was laid in 1987, just 10 days in advance of Marcus Garvey's birth centenary, although the library itself did not open until 1993.
This bust and plaque are in the library foyer.
