You may not have heard of the name Marcus Garvey or his politics but he was effectively the father of Black Nationalism and known by some as ‘the Black Moses’, a man who inspired the likes of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Jr - who referred to him as the first man “to give millions of Negroes a sense of dignity and destiny.”

And while his name might be unknown to many Irish people, Irish politics was well known to him - because he named his HQ Liberty Hall, in honour of the Dublin version, and he even took sides in the Anglo-Irish Treaty!

Donal Fallon joins Gavan Reilly in studio for another installment of Hidden Histories.
