Marcus Garvey divorced Ashwood while she was abroad in England in June 1922, and had the divorce approved in Kansas City without her knowledge (citation needed); a month later on 27 July 1922, he married Jacques in Baltimore. (citation needed) Ashwood felt betrayed by her friend and her husband. (citation needed)

Adler claims that Ashwood and Jacques were best friends. (citation needed) The two were said to have known each other as teenagers in Jamaica, and Jacques was said to have been Ashwood's chief bridesmaid in her wedding to Garvey. (citation needed)  Ashwood attempted to have the second marriage annulled upon returning from England by filing a suit to deny the validity of her divorce to Garvey. (citation needed) In this later, Garvey was named the co-respondent. The effort to have this divorce nullified failed, leaving Amy Jacques as Garvey's legitimate wife. Unfortunately this whole debacle led to the severance of this long-time friendship. (citation needed)

Garvey

Garvey derived political ideals from her environment and lived during a time when it was common for many black Jamaicans to be poor, and illiterate farmers.
