The Harlem Renaissance, The Garvey Movement, and The New Negro

Marcus Garvey

1.) Marcus Garvey was influential to Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, & Nelson Mandela
2.) The U.N.I.A. was about black self determination and taught blacks to have pride in their race.
3.) The Black Star line was a shipping company that Garvey planned to use to send people back to Africa.
4.) Garvey supported the whites that wanted to send the blacks back to Africa because he wanted to help blacks leave and go to Africa



Harlem 1900-1940
1.) Harlem and Black Wall Street are similar because they were both black communities filled with people trying to make money. And the difference is that blacks in Harlem were actually making movements and starting organizations and were rising. Where in Black Wall Street they were on the rise but stopped by the riots.
2.) The Negro World was a newspaper created by Garvey. The Garvey Movement/UNIA are similar to the NAACP because their main purposes are to help black people and they were against lynchings.
"Marcus Garvey quotes: "A people without the knowledge of their past history is like a tree without roots." & "If you have no confidence in self, you are twice defeated in the race of life."
3.) The children marched with banners that said "Mother do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President why not make America safe for democracy" "Thou shalt not kill" I believe the children were involved in the protest to show the whites that even as children they would stand up and protest because even the children were being beaten and attacked.
4.) Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali were both boxers. When Jack Johnson fought white people and won it was kind of an inspiration to the blacks because of the racism and segregation that they cant really do anything about.
5.) The New York Black Yankees played from 1936-1948. The team was founded in Harlem, NY.
