Read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World, adopted at the first international convention of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in August 1920:
"We believe in the freedom of Africa for the Negro people of the world, and by the step we take we are going to have a beloved homeland... We believe that the Negro, like any other race, should be governed by the laws of his own country and should be allowed to build up a nation and government of his own..."
Based on the excerpt, which of the following best describes how the political and economic strategy of Marcus Garvey’s UNIA differed from that of the contemporary Pan-African Congresses led by W.E.B. Du Bois?
- The UNIA emphasized global mass mobilization, racial separatism, and economic self-reliance through Black-owned businesses, whereas Du Bois's congresses focused on intellectual collaboration and lobbying colonial powers for political reforms.Cevap
- BThe UNIA rejected emigration and international solidarity, focusing instead on securing legal citizenship and voting rights in the United States through judicial challenges.
- CThe UNIA relied on a small group of elite Black intellectuals to lobby European colonial governments at international diplomatic summits.
- DThe UNIA advocated for the assimilation of all African cultures into a single, uniform Westernized identity to gain recognition from European empires.
Cevap
The UNIA prioritized global mass mobilization, racial separatism, and economic self-reliance through Black-owned businesses, whereas Du Bois's congresses focused on intellectual collaboration and lobbying colonial powers for political reforms.
The correct option is correct because the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), founded by Marcus Garvey, was a mass-membership organization that championed global Black nationalism, racial pride, and economic self-sufficiency (exemplified by the Black Star Line). W.E.B. Du Bois's Pan-African Congresses, by contrast, focused on intellectual networking and lobbying European colonial powers for political reforms and self-determination.
