In the early 20th century, Marcus Garvey, a Jamaican-American civil rights activist, was a part of the “Back to Africa” movement and established the “Black Star Steamship Company” in support of it.
He was also in favour of the Pan-African movement, which advocated that all people of African descent should band together to improve the situation in Africa.There were other causes for the Great Migrations as well, despite the fact that industrialization and urbanisation gave African Americans new hope and that economic opportunities became one of the main factors propelling them. The South’s discriminating policies forced African Americans to search for other spaces to call home. There were covert organisations in the South that employed a variety of tactics to prevent Black people from participating in its culture.An example of a leader of an independent nation throughout the 20th century is Jomo Kenyatta.
