Jamaican born Marcus Garvey was a prominent political leader, journalist, and public orator. A leading proponent in the African liberation movement, Garvey founded and led the largest mass movement of black people in the early twentieth century advocating for African liberation and unification. This episode looks at the life and legacy of Marcus Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the organization he founded. Content for this episode is adapted from a documentary produced by the Institute of the Black World (IBW21). The second and third parts of this episode will be released later this week. This episode is part of the African History Series of the Africanist Press featuring voices, individuals, and institutions engaged in shaping the study of Africa's past and present developments.
