Marcus Garvey
Marcus Garvey is the somewhat controversial civil rights activist who moved to the USA but was originally from Jamaica. At the time, many people in the Carribean felt that moving to the USA presented better opportunities. In 1919, he launched the Black Star Line, a shipping company that would establish trade and commerce among Africans in America, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Canada and Africa in a bid to unite the Black community all over the world to better their lives. Marcus ran into several issues with the white community in the USA as well as several Blacks who did not believe him to be genuine. In 1932, he was charged with mail fraud through his dealings with the Black Star Line and was deported to Jamaica. After serving his sentence, he moved o London with the hopes of gaining the attention of the black community but failed to do so.
