Reasoning with Professor Robert A. Hill

On July 10, 2000, I sat down to interview Professor Robert A. Hill, Editor in Chief at the Marcus Garvey Papers Project on the UCLA Campus. At that time, I initiated the interview in hopes of getting it published in a Colorado-based magazine entitled Ujama News. The editor and readers of Ujama News maintain an interest in the history of Marcus Garvey, Rastatari and Pan-African politics and history. In every issue they run a column on the philosophies of Marcus Garvey, so the editor Robert Oyugi and I discussed a line of questioning for Robert Hill that would give the readers more background information on Garvey and attempt to fill in some of the gaps. We hoped Robert Hill would answer some of the questions people have about Garvey, that are not easily accessible in popular sources. At the time Robert Hill was my thesis advisor for the work I was doing on women's history and literature in Jamaica, so it was the prime opportunity for this exchange. The following interview is the product of that afternoon in July
