Summary: "Organize as a race, or perish as a race," declared Marcus Garvey, whose goal was to unite black people throughout the world. From the moment Jamaican-born Garvey discovered black workers being treated unjustly, he set his sights on a better life for his people. In the United States, as founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Garvey gained a devoted following. There were also many opponents who were frightened by his separatist views. Author Anne Schraff cuts through all the controversy to reveal the true story of a passionate black leader who ignited the spirit of black pride.
