Marcus Garvey was born in Jamaica and left school at a young age to work as a printer's apprentice. His experiences opened his eyes to the oppression faced by Black people in the Americas. He went on to found the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Jamaica, with the goal of uniting Black people worldwide and encouraging emigration back to Africa. Garvey's influential newspaper was called Negro World, and his slogan was "Africa for the Africans," as he believed all Black people were citizens of Africa. However, the UNIA eventually lost momentum after Garvey was imprisoned in the U.S. on mail fraud charges.
