Read the following excerpt from the Declaration of Rights of the Negro Peoples of the World, drafted during the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) convention in August 1920:
"We believe that the Negro, like any other race, should be governed by the constitution of a country, and the same laws, and that each country should have its own government... We believe in the freedom of Africa for the Negro people of the world..."
Which of the following best describes how the political vision expressed in this excerpt differed from the strategy championed by W.E.B. Du Bois and the contemporary Pan-African Congress movement?
- AThe excerpt demonstrates the UNIA’s focus on legal integration within Western nations, whereas W.E.B. Du Bois advocated for the total repatriation of all African Americans to Liberia.
- BThe excerpt outlines a plan for an elite-led intellectual coalition to lobby the League of Nations, whereas the Pan-African Congress prioritized grass-roots economic boycotts of European goods.
- CThe excerpt suggests that all African societies shared a single, uniform culture, whereas the Pan-African Congress rejected the idea of a shared African heritage.
- The excerpt reflects the UNIA’s goal of complete political independence and global Black nationalism, whereas W.E.B. Du Bois and the Pan-African Congress worked toward reform and civil rights within existing colonial and national structures.Cevap
Cevap
The Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) prioritized political independence and global Black nationalism, while W.E.B. Du Bois and the Pan-African Congress focused on reform and civil rights within existing colonial and national structures.
The correct option is correct because the excerpt emphasizes self-governing and the freedom of Africa, reflecting Marcus Garvey's Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) platform of Black nationalism and political autonomy. This stood in contrast to W.E.B. Du Bois and the Pan-African Congresses, which primarily worked within existing political structures to advocate for civil rights, legal protections, and gradual self-governance.
