I Think a Good Deal in Terms of the Power of Black People in the World…That’S Why Africa Means So Much to Me
Returning Home: The Makings of a Repatriate Consciousness “Like Sisyphus, the King of Corinth in Greek Mythology, who was punished in Hades by having to push a boulder up a hill only to have it roll back down time after time, the Afro-American has been repeatedly disappointed in his ascent to freedom. In the African he recognizes a fellow Sisyphus. Pushing together they might just reach the hilltop, perhaps even the mountaintop of which Martin Luther King spoke so eloquently.”1 Hope Steinman-Iacullo SIT Fall 2007 Ghana: History and Culture of the African Diaspora Advisor: Dr. K.B.

Aims and Objects of Movement for Solution of Negro Problem ______1924 *
National Humanities Center Resource Toolbox The Making of African American Identity: Vol. III, 1917-1968 __________________Marcus Garvey UCLA African Studies Center Aims and Objects of Movement for Solution of Negro Problem _________1924 * enerally the public is kept misinformed of the truth G surrounding new movements of reform. Very seldom, if ever, reformers get the truth told about them and their movements. Because of this natural attitude, the Universal Negro Improvement Association has been greatly handicapped in its work, causing thereby one of the most liberal and helpful human movements of the twentieth century to be held up to ridicule by those who take pride in poking fun at anything not already successfully established. The white man of America has become the natural leader of the world. He, because of his exalted position, is called upon to help in all human efforts. From nations to individuals the appeal is made to him for aid in all things affecting humanity, so, naturally, there can be no great mass movement or change without first acquainting the leader on whose sympathy and advice the world moves. It is because of this, and more so because of a desire to be Marcus Garvey as commander in chief Christian friends with the white race, why I explain the aims of the Universal African Legion and objects of the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The Universal Negro Improvement Association is an organization among Negroes that is seeking to improve the condition of the race, with the view of establishing a nation in Africa where Negroes will be given the opportunity to develop by themselves, without creating the hatred and animosity that now exist in countries of the white race through Negroes rivaling them for the highest and best positions in government, politics, society and industry. -

The New Afro-American Nationalism
THE NEW AFRO-AMERICAN NATIONALISM JOHN HENRIK CLARKE THE FEBRUARY, ig6i, riot in the gallery of the United Nations in protest against the foul and cowardly murder of Patrice Lu- mumba introduced the new Afro-American Nationalism. This na- tionalism is only a new manifestation of old grievances with deep roots. Nationalism, and a profound interest in Africa, actually started among Afro-Americans during the latter part of the nine- teenth century. Therefore, the new Afro-American nationalism is really not new. The demonstrators in the United Nations gallery interpreted the murder of Lumumba as the international lynching of a black man on the altar of colonialism and white supremacy. Suddenly, to them at least, Lumumba became Emmett Till and all of the other black victims of lynch law and the mob. The plight of the Africans still fighting to throw off the joke of colonialism and the plight of the Afro-Americans, still waiting for a rich, strong and boastful nation to redeem the promise of freedom and citizenship became one and the same. Through their action the U.N. dem- onstrators announced their awareness of the fact that they were far from being free and a long fight still lay ahead of them. The short and unhappy life of Patrice Lumumba announced the same thing about Africa. Belatedly, some American officials began to realize that the for- eign policy of this country will be affected if the causes of the long brooding dissatisfaction among Afro-Americans are not dealt with effectively. Others, quick to draft unfavorable conclusions and compound misconceptions, interpretated this action as meaning there was more Afro-American interest in African affairs than in 285 Reprinted from FREEDOMWAYS, Vol .
