Aside from the Black Star Steamship Line,these included the Black Eagle Flying Corps, the Universal African MotorCorps, and the Black Cross Trading and Navigation Corporation.[9] Rolinson explains that in the South as in the North, the maininfluential texts of the UNIA served to unite UNIA members and reinforcethe values of the program and its ideology. Rastafarians and the Nation of Islam wereinfluenced by such ideology. http://www.blackpast.org/?q=aah/garvey-marcus-1887-194 , (accessed June 1, 2 9), p. As Rolinson writes, "The threeliterary sources that consistently connected isolated UNIA members to theUNIA program and philosophy were the UNIA constitution, the Declaration ofRights of the Negro Peoples of the World (also known as the Negro Bill ofRights), and editorials and addresses in the weekly Negro World."[1 ] Readon four continents with a circulation of over 2 , and published inthree languages, the Negro World served as the "official newspaper" of theUNIA and voiced its philosophy to a global audience.

Garvey was heavily denounced for this meeting by a numberof black organizations like the NAACP and its leader, W.E.B. Conclusion In conclusion, the Universal Negro Improvement Association played animportant role in the creation of the Black Nationalist movement in AfricanAmerican communities. Supporting Evidence Above all the UNIA served to promote the spirit of race, pride andlove among blacks around the globe. As written in the preamble to the 1929Constitution of the UNIA, the organization serves as a "social, friendly,humanitarian, charitable, educational, institutional, constructive andexpansive society, and is founded by persons desiring to do the utmost towork for the general uplift of the people of African ancestry."[8]Auxiliary components of the UNIA helped them achieve these goals, such asthe Universal African Legion, the African Black Cross Nurses, and variousorganizations created by UNIA. 3.[13] Ibid, 2 9, p. One of the most ambitious organizations established underGarvey's leadership was the Black Star Steamship Line.[4] The intentionwas for this organization to be able to develop profitable trade networksamong the U.S., Caribbean and Africa. 132.[11] Rolinson, 2 7, p. The motto of the UNIA is"One God!

It served as a forerunner of such parties in theUnited States and elsewhere. The Nation of Islam was heavily influenced by the UNIA and Garvey.Removing all white influence from black society was one of Garvey's goals,similar to the Nation of Islam. AsGarvey lamented about blacks expelled fro, Liberia in a speech in 1924,"Where must the Negro live? 1.[7] Rolinson, Mary G.

"Garvey, Marcus (1887-194 )." Blackpast.org, 2 9. However, in Grassroots Garveyism MaryRolinson argues that the biggest number of UNIA divisions and Garvey's"most devoted and loyal followers," where the movement's "tenets of raceorganization, unity, and pride" continued to flourish via other means ofAfrican American protest for generations.[7] The UNIA was highlyinfluential in its impact on Black Nationalism. "Speech." New York, August 28, 1924. However, the steamship lineultimately filed for bankruptcy amidst charges that Garvey had used U.S.mail to "defraud investors."[5] The Negro Factories Corporation was alsoorganized in 1919, with a capitalization of one million dollars.[6] Black Nationalism or the separatist movement Garvey led has beenviewed conventionally as a phenomenon of African American organization thatunfolded in the urban North. 3.

One Aim! 1.[4] Ibid, 2 9, p. Washington, "Up, you mighty race; you can conquer what youwill."[3] In line with UNIA goals of achieving economic separatism for blacks,the organization was responsible for helping establish a number ofcompanies. North Carolina: Univ. In the Negro Bill of Rights, adopted at the first UNIA conventionin 192 , white abuses are pointedly defined, "In certain parts of the U.S.our race is denied the right of public trial accorded to other races whenaccused of crime, but are lynched and burned by mobs, and such brutal andinhuman treatment is even practiced upon our women."[11] The theme ofviolence against blacks by whites is prevalent in the Negro Bill of Rights. 1.[5] Quintard, 2 9, p. Grassroots Garveyism: The Universal Negro Improvement Association in the Rural South, 192 -1927. These documents madeno secret of white abuses against blacks. 1.[2] "Official Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League." UNIA, 2 9. "Garvey, Marcus (1887-194 )."
