| Title |
The Universal Negro Improvement Association of Montreal, 1917-1979
|
| Abstract |
A social history of the English-speaking Black community in Montreal, as well as a study of the Montreal division of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, founded in 1919 as a social and educational society to aid Montreal's Black community. This international organization was started by Marcus Garvey in Kingston, Jamaica, in 1914. The author points out that during its heyday and for many years afterwards, the Montreal UNIA wielded great influence among people of African descent in this city. Through its many units, meetings, social, educational, and recreational activities, it afforded many opportunities to Black Montrealers to fill the wide voids which existed in their lives.
