The Marcus Garvey and Universal Negro Improvement Association Papers, Vol. VI - September 1924-December 1927

Spans the great divide in the affairs of the American Garvey movement that resulted from the imprisonment of its leader - Marcus Garvey - in 1925. This work tells the story of Garvey's failed efforts to win the appeal against his conviction for mail fraud, his incarceration, and the massive grass-roots petition movement mobilized in his defense.
