| Description | Copy of the original pamhplet of the speech made by Marcus Garvey at the Royal Albert Hall on 6 June 1928.
Jamaican-born Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. (18871940) founded and led the largest mass movement in Black history: the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA).
Garvey first left Jamaica in 1910 and spent formative years in London and the United States eventually calling all three places home. Established in New York in 1914, the UNIA preached a gospel of racial pride, and economic and cultural independence for all people of African descent. At its peak in 1920 the UNIA had millions of members and hundreds of chapters across the USA, UK, Caribbean, Canada and Africa. This leaflet details a speech given by Garvey at the Royal Albert Hall, London, in June 1928.
Garveys ideas strongly influenced Black politics in the 20th century including Black Power and national liberation movements, as well as Rastafarianism. |
