Marcus Garvey

Marcus Garvey
Marcus Garvey organized the United Negro Improvement Association as a foundation to allow black Americans to move back to Africa. Failure to secure enough investment caused his ventures to collapse in 1922. Earl Little, the father of Malcolm X, was a supporter of Garvey. Little, who died in 1931, was probably murdered because of his political and social activism.
