The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) was founded in August 1914 by the Right Honourable Marcus Mosiah Garvey to uplift, unify, and empower the race.
Last Friday, the Montreal chapter of the UNIA (founded in1920) celebrated the UNIA’s centennial as well as Marcus Garvey’s birthday.
