PAW PAW, WV — On July 24th, Conservative columnist and activist Lloyd Marcus passed away at the age of 71. Marcus suffered from a sudden heart attack, passing one day after his wedding anniversary. He was born on October 24, 1948.
Surviving Marcus is his wife Mary, who made this announcement:
Marcus rose to popularity as the face of the American Tea Party movement, most notably gaining recognition for creating the ‘Tea Party National Anthem.’ He also served as an official spokesman for the Tea Party Express, which led a national tour across the United States, protesting the policies of the Obama administration. He attended over 400 tea party rallies on 12 of the national bus tours. A highlight was the ‘Rally to Stop Obamacare’ in Washington D.C., with 1.7 million people in attendance.
The Guardian described Lloyd Marcus as a “prolific writer, singer and songwriter” serving as the “Tea Party Movement’s most prominent African American.” During the height of the Tea Party Movement, he was a frequent guest on Fox News, CNN, Newsmax, and the Right Network.
In addition to his work with the Tea Party Express, he also served as the chairman of the Conservative Campaign Committee PAC.
Marcus authored Confessions of a Black Conservative, with a foreword composed by conservative commentator Michelle Malkin. He often referred to himself as “The Unhyphenated American,” rejecting the term “African-American,” expressing that he is simply an “American,” as are all U.S. citizens.

“With my sad, heavy, and deeply broken heart Jesus suddenly came and reclaimed our Lloyd Marcus, The Unhyphenated American. Loved by many all over the world with his warm smile, optimism, hearty exuberance, his wise written words in columns, songs, videos, artworks and books, Lloyd Marcus is deeply missed. His family and dear friends are stunned at the sheer quickness and absoluteness of God’s hand as he was plucked from us to be with his beloved Lord and Savior in Heaven above. As I continue my life without his all-encompassing human love of me, his adoring, and steadfast wife, I thank you all for your loving compassion. Patriots, I want you to know he loved each and every one of you. Reading and responding to your letters of encouragement, questions, and well wishes, he loved you all and spoke of and wrote about many of you. I and he have always thanked you for your gifts through the years in helping him ‘Spread the Truth.’
Thanking you in advance for your heartful giving, I leave you with Lloyd’s words: I’m NOT African American-I’m Lloyd Marcus-AMERICAN! God instructed Pharaoh, ‘Let my people go.’ God instructs us, ‘Let my people know.’ Spread truth.”
