[Marcus Garvey] studied all of the literature he could find on African history and culture and decided to launch the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the goal of unifying "all the Negro peoples of the world into one great body and to establish a country and government absolutely on their own". In addition, Garvey started his own newspaper. He did not have a forum to express his philosophy in the white newspapers, so he started the Negro World. The Negro World was the U.N.I.A. weekly newspaper, published in French and Spanish as well as English. In it African history and heroes were glorified.
