U4 History and Traditions A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree without roots. ——Marcus Garvey The opening page If a tree is compared to a group of family people, what can be compared to our ancestors? Without roots, --- In this quote, Garvey is emphasising the importance of knowing about the history of your country and people. He uses "people” in the countable form to refer to all the persons who live in a particular place or belong to a particular country, race, or other group. In Garvey's case, race was especially important. A tree is a good metaphor for a group of people. For example, we talk about "family trees", which detail our relatives across time. A tree without roots would easily fall down and die. The roots also feed the tree. The roots of a tree cannot usually be seen, but they often spread deep and wide. In this way, a people's history also has deep roots that spread far and wide. If people do not know about their history, they will not learn from the past and will not be able to develop and progress well into the future. Do you know anyting about Qu Fu?
