Additional Details

The sub-title of this broadside reads: "A Racial Hierarchy and Empire for Negroes. Negro's Faith must be Confidence in Self. His Creed: One God, One Aim, One Destiny" (The U.N.I.A. creed). We were unable to find a single copy of this piece anywhere. It is obviously made up from quotes from Garvey's writings, and we are guessing that it was produced during the period of the 1960's or '70's. The creed begins "The time has come for the Negro to forget and cast behind him his hero worship and adoration of other races, and to start out immediately to create and emulate heroes of his own." Subsequent paragraphs are titled "A Peep at the Past," "Why be Discouraged," "Nothing must Kill the Empire Urge," "Allegiance to Self First," and "We are Arbiters of our own Destiny."
