'Rising Strongly and Rapidly': The Universal Negro Improvement Association of Canada, 1919-1940
|
| Abstract |
The Universal Negro Improvement Association(UNIA), led by Jamaican-born Marcus Garvey, played a central role in the lives of many Blacks in Canada in the early decades of the twentieth century, especially among West Indian immigrants. In Montreal, where most of Quebec's Black population lived, West Indians were active UNIA organizers because of their limited economic opportunities. According to the author, the Montreal Division of the UNIA boasted the highest and perhaps most active membership of any Canadian UNIA division. The Montreal Division still remain active today.
