Doctor Julius Garvey
WELL DONE ST. ANTONY'S!! WHAT AN INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE FOR MEMBERS OF THE STUDENT COUNCIL AND YEAR 6 COHORT!
THE RIGHT HONOURABLE MARCUS MOSIAH GARVEY'S SON, DOCTOR JULIUS GARVEY, PAID A VISIT TO LAMBETH TOWN HALL AS ONE OF THE STOPS ON HIS UK TOUR TO CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY MONTH. ST. ANTONY'S PUPILS WERE SPECIALLY INVITED TO 'AN AUDIENCE WITH" THIS INSPIRATIONAL ORATOR, MEDICAL DOCTOR AND PHILOSOPHER!
YEAR 6 HAS BEEN STUDYING THE IMPACT HIS GREAT FATHER AND FIRST NATIONAL HERO OF JAMAICA'S WORK AND HAVE BEEN INSPIRED BY HIS VERY POPULAR QUOTES: "EMANCIPATE YOURSELVES FROM MENTAL SLAVERY, NONE BUT OURSELVES CAN FREE OUR MINDS" AND "A PEOPLE WITHOUT THE KNOWLEDGE OF THEIR PAST HISTORY, ORGIN AND CULTURE IS LIKE A TREE WITHOUT ROOTS."
THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION WILL LIVE WITH US FOREVER. DOCTOR JULIUS GARVEY WAS INTERVIEWED BY OUR PUPILS AND WAS EXTREMELY IMPRESSED BY THEIR KNOWLEDGE OF HIS LATE FATHER'S WORK AS WELL AS THEIR HIGH LEVELS OF ENGAGEMENT. HE ENCOURAGED THEM TO REMEMBER THAT THEY SHOULD STRIVE TO MASTER THEIR MINDS IN ORDER TO MASTER THE WORLD AND BECOME BELIEVERS IN THEMSELVES!! WE APPLAUD THE PHENOMENAL WORK OF HIS FATHER WHO HAS INSPIRED PEOPLE OF ALL NATIONS, TO BECOME MASTERS OF THEIR OWN DESTINY SINCE THE EARLY 1900s.
