Marcus Garvey

Electric presence: Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association in Harlem in 1917, arguing for a return to Africa and becoming a celebrity speaker and activist. One follower recalled that shaking hands with Garvey was "like electricity going through my body." Harlem was also home to the first branch of the NAACP in 1910. Part One of I Remember Harlem offers a look at Garvey's accomplishments; check the schedule for times.
