Summary: Shortly after returning from a long tour of the Caribbean and Central America in July 1921, Marcus Garvey recorded two brief speeches on a 78 rpm record. The first speech, "Hon. Marcus Garvey on His Return to the U.S.A.," comments on his problems obtaining a re-entry visa. Although Garvey was famous for his oratory, these speeches are the only known recordings of his voice.
