Edward Wilmot Blyden was born in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands in 1832. He became a prominent writer and diplomat, working mainly in Liberia. Blyden's idea's and speeches urging a return to Africa and the re-creation of an African Nation were to seed African conciousness movements all over the world. There is an unbroken line of black leaders that inherited his ideas, directly or indirectly. W.E.B. DuBois and Marcus Garvey exploded them into the twentieth century, continuing to champion the theme of a return to Africa. Their political ideas in turn became a source for the leaders of African independence movements of the fifties and sixties- Nkrumah, Nyerere, Sekou Toure and Blyden's own grandson, Edward W. Blyden III. Blyden died in 1912.
