Answer 2

Answer:

Marcus Garvey didn't believe in African-American integration as Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. DuBois did; he rather defended his idea of African-American separatism.

Explanation:

In August of 1914, Marcus Garvey founded in Jamaica the "Universal Negro Improvement Association", whose goal was to "unite all the people of African origin in the world in a single body to establish a country and government absolutely of their own."  

In 1916, Garvey moved to the United States, and founded a newspaper called Negro World. In 1917 he formed in the USA the first section of the UNIA outside Jamaica and began its conference tours in which he advocated the return of former black slaves to Africa. To support this opinion Garvey said that "educational, industrial and political success is based on the protection of a nation founded by us and that nation can only be in Africa." In fact, Garvey considered that racial segregation widely practiced and tolerated in the United States actually prevented all possible integration of blacks in American society, stating that such "integration" (postulated by other black leaders as WEB Du Bois) would result in failure.
