Universal Negro Improvement Association - New Georgia Encyclopedia

The  Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) had at least thirty-four divisions in Georgia during the early to mid-1920s. Black Georgians read its newspaper, the Negro World, and contributed generously to many UNIA causes. The UNIA’s Jamaican founder, Marcus Garvey, had a significant following in the South, particularly in rural areas among tenant farmers and sharecroppers, for his programs of economic independence, racial separatism, and African redemption. His ideas also found strong support in urban areas with large Black populations, in the Caribbean, and in Africa.
