		U.N.I.A. In 1914, the UNIA-ACL was founded by Marcus Mosiah Garvey originally in Jamaica after he had gone to London to be with his sister Indiana.

	Religious Movements Homepage: Marcus Garvey, Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League
		This vision led Garvey in August 1914 to establish the Universal Negro Improvement and Conservation Association and African Communities League, whose stated interest was in the unification of the Negro race.

		The Universal Negro Improvement Association is not seeking to disrupt any organized system of government, but the Association is determined to bring Negroes together for the building up of a nation of their own.
		The difference between the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the other movements of this country, and probably the world, is that the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks independence of government, while thet other organizations seek to make the Negro a secondary part of existing government.
		Hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association does not seek to interfere with the social and political systems of France, but by the arrangement of things today the UNIA refuses to recognize any political or social system in Africa except that which we are about to establish for ourselves.

	The Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers Project, UCLA
		The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities (Imperial) League was founded and organized five days after my arrival, with the program of uniting all the negro peoples of the world into one great body to establish a country and Government absolutely their own.
		When they were told that negroes could not be officers in the British army they started their own propaganda, which supplemented the program of the Universal Negro Improvement Association.
		I immediately visited some of the then so-called negro leaders, only to discover, after a close study of them, that they had no program, but were mere opportunists who were living off their so-called leadership while the poor people were groping in the dark.

	Aims and Objects of the Movement for Solution of Negro Problem by Marcus Garvey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Because of this natural attitude, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been greatly handicapped in its work, causing thereby one of the most liberal and helpful human movements of the twentieth century to be held up to ridicule by those who take pride in poking fun at anything not already successfully established.
		The unfortunate condition of slavery, as imposed upon the Negro, and which caused the mongrelization of the race, should not be legalized and continued now to the harm and detriment of both races.
		The time has really come to give the Negro a chance to develop himself to a moral-standard-man, and it is for such an opportunity that the Universal Negro Improvement Association seeks in the creation of an African nation for Negroes, where the greatest latitude would be given to work out this racial ideal.

		We protest against the practice of drafting Negroes and sending them to war with alien forces without proper training, and demand in all cases that Negro soldiers be given the same training as the aliens.

	An Appeal to the Conscience of the Black Race to See Itself by Marcus Garvey (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Prejudice is conditional on many reasons, and it is apparent that the Negro supplies, consciously or unconsciously, all the reasons by which the world seems to ignore and avoid him.
		Hence, the Universal Negro Improvement Association appeals to each and every Negro to throw in his lot with those of us who, through organization, are working for the universal emancipation of our race and the redemption of our common country, Africa.
		No Negro, let him be American, European, West Indian or African, shall be truly respected until the race as a whole has emancipated itself, through self—achievement and progress, from universal prejudice.

		He had as much Negro in Him as Anglo-Saxon, as much European as Ethiopian to be the Son of God- the Father of all mankind, and the Redeemer of all humanity.
		So the Negro has more claim to the belssings and benediction of Jesus Christ than any other race, and that is why the Negro, and the Universal Negro Improvement Association believe that we will triumph because we have accepted this Leader as our Strength and Shield, as our Standard Bearer.
		And now that the Negro is bearing his own cross, seeing his crucifixion we cry out to the same Saviour- the Power Divine- to render unto us the help that we rendered to Him when He was sore in need.
