Aims and Objects of Movement For Solution of Negro Problem Outlined

2024 Reprint of the 1924 Edition. In July 1914, Garvey launched the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League, commonly abbreviated as UNIA. Adopting the motto of "One Aim. One God. One Destiny", UNIA declared its commitment to "establish a brotherhood among the black race, to promote a spirit of race pride, to reclaim the fallen and to assist in civilizing the backward tribes of Africa." In this short pamphlet we encounter many of Garvey's signature ideas. Respect for the achievement of the white man; insistence that Blacks must separate entirely from white society and create their own civilization, as whites had created theirs; assertion that whites will never cede power and rights to the black; and his argument that black reformers were wasting their time in attempting to integrate black Americans into white society. Controversial and hated in his lifetime, Garvey continues to influence significant portions of Black society worldwide.
