Marcus Mosiah Garvey
born in Jamaica 17 August 1887 died on 10 June 1940 He went to New York City in 1916 and recruited followers for his Universal Negro Improvement Association. His program was to unite all black peoples through the establishment in Africa of a country and government of their own. He was a magnetic speaker and led his followers in parades through Harlem. In 1921 he got 1 million followers. His newspaper, Negro World, carried his views to all parts of the United States. He preached economic independence, pride of race, and the need for black Americans to return to Africa. He started a steamship company the Black Star Line to provide a commercial link among all the black peoples of the world. His methods of selling stock in the line, however, led to his conviction (1923) for defraud. After serving nearly 3 years of a 5-year sentence, he was pardoned and deported to Jamaica in 1927. Although he died in obscurity, He is remembered as a national hero in his Jamaica
