As founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Marcus Garvey built one of the largest pan-Africanist organisations in history. The
Jamaican-born activist mobilised millions in arguing for the establishment of an independent Black nation – a call that gained global traction after World War I.
