Marcus Garvey was a prominent Jamaican political leader, publisher, journalist, and orator who played a critical role in the early 20th century Pan-African movement. He founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), which aimed to unite all people of African descent and promote their cultural and economic self-sufficiency.
