In the 1920s, Marcus Garvey aimed to promote Black nationalism and self-determination among people of African descent. He sought to empower Black individuals by encouraging them to embrace their heritage, support Black-owned businesses, and establish a sense of pride in their identity. Through his Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Garvey advocated for economic independence and the establishment of a separate nation for African Americans in Africa, promoting the idea of returning to the homeland. His vision was to inspire unity and self-reliance within the African diaspora.
