Garvey’s Philosophies

His philosophies are words of power, he talks about how

happy you should be and not be ashamed to be black.
Always be happy about where you came from. How you
should always have confidence in yourself, always strive
for the highest and biggest goal, because we all can
achieve it.
 The Organizations
Garvey found

Association (UNIA). Formed in Jamaica in July 1914, the UNIA aimed to
achieve Black nationalism through the celebration of African history and
culture.
● His most famous business venture was a shipping company known as the
Black Star Line. Garvey started the shipping company in 1919 as a way to
promote trade but also to transport passengers to Africa.
● Founder Marcus Garvey, opened branches in 30 U.S. cities between 1916-22.
He established the Negro Factory Corp., and a newspaper, the Negro World,
in which he articulated the frustrations of working-class blacks.
 The Principles
of UNIA-ACL
UNIA is founded on the core values of solidarity, equality, freedom, peace
and sustainability. This Association adopts an attitude not of hostility to
other races and peoples of the world, but an attitude of self respect, of
manhood rights on behalf of 400,000,000 Negroes of the world. They
represent peace, harmony, love, human sympathy, human rights and
human justice. Marcus Garvey’s brand of black nationalism had three
components—unity, pride in the African cultural heritage, and complete
autonomy.
HIS CONTRIBUTIONS
He was the leader of the Pan-Africanism movement, which its goal to
unify and connect people of African descent worldwide.

In the United States, he was a noted civil rights activist who founded the
Negro World newspaper, a shipping company called Black Star Line and
the Universal Negro Improvement Association, or UNIA, a fraternal
organization of black nationalists. As a group, they advocated for
“separate but equal” status for persons of African ancestry, and as such
they sought to establish independent Black states around the world,
notably in Liberia on the west coast of Africa.
