The Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), founded by Marcus Garvey in 1914, aimed to promote Black self-empowerment, economic independence, and a sense of racial pride among people of African descent. Its initiatives included the establishment of businesses, schools, and the Black Star Line shipping company to facilitate trade among Black communities. While the UNIA faced significant challenges, including opposition from the U.S. government and internal divisions, it effectively raised awareness about racial issues and inspired future civil rights movements. Its legacy continues to influence Black nationalism and Pan-Africanism today.
