Yesterday in class we learned about Marcus Garvey. He founded the UNIA and was for segregation. He wanted all African Americans to return to the motherland of Africa. This created muchg upset in the community. He believed that both the white and black races were pure and integration would make them both impure. Today in class we read poems and listened to music as well as looking at paintings. It was about the Great Migration. Many blacks decided the only way to escape the South was to leave the south. Millions of African Americans went North to look for freedom, jobs, and a place to raise their kids.
