The Harlem Renaissance, The Garvey Movement, and The New Negro

1. Marcus Garvey influenced Malcolm x, Martin Luther king and Nelson Mandela.
2. The United Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was to represent black self determination and galvanizing the idea of black repatriation of Africa.
3. The Black Star Line was a ship to transport blacks back to Africa.
4. Garvey supported white supremacist because some of his aspects of returning blacks to Africa was on the same line as the KKK.
6. Similarities between Black Wall Street and Capital of Negro World is that they both were striving black communities with growing success. Differences are that black Wall Street was destroy and negro world wasn't.
7. Negro World was a newspaper that voiced the UNIA. The NAACP and  UNIA were both in favor of helping Africans Americans.
" A people without the knowledge of their past history, origin and culture is like a tree with roots". This quote is saying that if you don't know your base/background how can you continue to move forward.
" With confidence, you have won before you have started" meaning that with confidence and determination you can achieve anything.

8. I think the children's role in the march was to show that they weren't intimidated by what the whites did. Some of the banners read "Mother, do lynchers go to heaven?" "Mr. President, why not make America safe for democracy?" "Thou shalt not kill." "Pray for the lady macbeths of east St. Louis." "Give us a chance to live".

9. What was similar between Jack Johnson and Muhammad Ali is that the United States government felt threatened by both of them and were determined to get rid of them. The Great White Hope is a play about Jack Johnson, Great White Hope reflects the racism and segregation in the era Johnson was in ( white people looking for a white fighter to beat him).

10. The black Yankees were a baseball team that played from 1936-1948. The team was founded in Harlem. They had played two doubleheaders that were 350 miles apart from each other on successive days. They left Pittsburgh around 10:00pm across to New Jersey, one of the two cars broke down, so nine of the sixteen players got into one car to try and make it to the game in time. They arrived 20 minutes after scheduled start time, they were given 5 minutes to warm up. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson is best known today for his dancing with Shirley Temple in a series of films during the 1930s, and starring in the musical Stormy Weather.
