Description:

Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was founded by Marcus Garvey in 1914 in Jamaica and established its U.S. base in New York City in 1916. The organization promoted racial pride, economic self-sufficiency, and the formation of an independent black nation in Africa, rapidly growing to become one of the largest and most influential African American movements of the early 20th century.
