On May 4, 1919, Marcus Garvey’s Negro World newspaper officially launched its expanded international operations. Published by the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the paper circulated across Africa, the Caribbean, and the Americas, promoting Black pride, economic independence, and Pan-Africanism. Written in English, Spanish, and French, Negro World became a crucial vehicle for Garvey’s “Back to Africa” movement and a powerful counterforce against colonial narratives. Despite being banned in many colonies, it found secret readerships, fueling global Black solidarity and resistance against imperialism.
