Marcus Garvey shocked many people by meeting with prominent figures such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) in the early 1920s. His meeting aimed to promote his vision of Black nationalism and the repatriation of African Americans to Africa, which he believed could find common ground with the Klan's segregationist views.

Garvey's move highlighted the complexities of racial politics during that era.
