The influence of Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois

The influence of Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Du Bois. 

W.E.D. Du Bois and Marcus Garvey fought for the same group of people - Black people - but both wanted different things. W.E.D. Du Bois called for integration of Black people.. but Marcus Garvey called for the separation of Black people.

1. W.E.D. Du Bois help set up the Niagra Movement and NAACP, which both spoke against black discrimination. He travelled throughout the USA and educated people on the racist situation of the country, how to change it, and how most other countries didn't have such racist attitudes, showing that it was absurd that integration wasn't more common in the USA.
2. Marcus Garvey moved from Jamaica to the USA in 1916 and had set up the Universal Improvement Association (UNIA) a few years before; he was a separatist and believed that Black people would never be equal to White people in America (although he was black himself), arguing that White people dominated all over Europe. He thought all races should stay in their continent (e.g. Asians in Asia, Africans in Africa). He ended up getting a huge following even though his ideas were considered ludicrous by many; he donated to businesses that were set up by Black people across the USA. 
3. Garvey later set up the "Back to Africa" campaign, a campaign to send African Americans back to Africa, specifically Liberia. He was able to fund the travel of many people to Liberia, but the ships he used were not in good condition for the trips, and the company shut down in 1922. Garvey was later arrested for fraud and was deported back to Jamaica in 1927.
