Additional Details

An interesting group of material from the U.N.I.A. The first photograph shows Garvey leaving New York City's famous jail, 'The Tombs;' the next image is that of a parade in the West Indies (circa 1952); the third is of a breakaway sect, Negroes of the World. While Garvey's movement lost most of it steam following his alliance with the Klan Grand Wizard, the movement carried on in England and his native Jamaica.
