NAACP
Objective: The NAACP's principal objective is to ensure the political, educational, social and economic equality of minority group citizens of United States and eliminate race prejudice. The NAACP seeks to remove all barriers of racial discrimination through the democratic processes. Segregation: They wanted equality for housing, voting, education, and all other human rights as a race that they were denied.

American society: they wanted a racial quality, housing, & voting

UNIA
Objective: dedicated to racial pride, economic self-sufficiency, and the formation of an independent black nation in Africa

Segregation: they preached voluntary segregation

American society: UNIA represent the largest mass movement in African-American history. They view American society as hopelessly corrupt and enmeshed in evil that there is no possibility of salvation from within.

2.
The focus of the NAACPS and the UNIA is different mainly in the following ways. The NAACPS main focus is based on political, educational, social and equality. UNIA identifies a social, humanitarian, charitable educational institutional constructive and expansive society.

3.
a. As a young African American living in the 1920’s I think the NAACP would be better, more positive and it will target more people whereas the UNIA sounds a bit discouraging but focused on more issues than the NAACP.

b. NAACP organization has the higher potential for bringing positive change because of its popularity in America. Being that they are trying to eliminate race prejudice and they wanted equality for housing, voting, education, and all other human rights as a race that they were denied.

C.
I would have to agree with the NAACP. They wanted the same things I would have wanted if I were an African American living in the 1920’s. I wouldn’t want the views of the UNIA. The voluntary versus the entirety of the whole race, that makes no sense to me.

    Starting in the mid 1950’s and continuing through the late 1960’s, the African Civil Rights Movement made historic strides regarding the equality of black and white citizens. As any such groundbreaking movement, there were moments of both peace and violence, from the Montgomery Bus Boycott to the New York City Race Riots of 1964. Perhaps the most influential and well-known leader of the Civil Rights Movement was Martin Luther King Jr. He lobbied for equal rights for African Americans, while also promoting peaceful protests and a message of non-violence in general. However, it would be incorrect to cite MLK as the only influential African American figure during the time. Malcolm X, the Black Panther Party, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee also contributed the great strides of the movement that resulted in the Civil Rights act of 1964, the Voting Rights Act of 1965, and the Fair Housing Act of 1968. However, while these 3 figures/parties all dealt with the racial…

    The National Association for the Advancement of Coloured People (NAACP) was established on February 12th, 1909 and was originally named the ‘National Negro Committee’. This association was founded by a white man from Kentucky, William English Walling, who saw a ‘need for a nation-wide effort to combat evil’. The NAACP philosophy was originally based on 18th Century liberalism as well as the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence; because of this, the NAACP strongly believed that non-violent protests and legitimate legal actions were the best way to achieve equal rights for all Americans. Throughout the Civil Rights Movements, the NAACP took a strictly passive-aggressive approach. They actively supported Martin Luther King (MLK)…

    In 1966, a vast, intriguing movement blossomed out of the Civil Rights Movement nicknamed “Black power” until full categorized as the Black Power Movement. Stokely Carmichael, former leader of the SNCC (Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) introduced the term “black power” in a rally in Mississippi. The movement itself tied its roots from the philosophy of the UNA, which was developed by Marcus Garvey. One can infer the Black Power Movement, was a positive movement because it came out of the Civil Rights Movement and had the vision “fundamentally altered struggles for racial justice through an uncompromising quest for social, political, and cultural transformation. (Joseph) It also had the same vocal points as the Civil Rights Movement, and “ coming to terms with the black power movement contradictions, shortcomings, and achievements may move us one step closer to finally making peace with the 1960’s” ( Joseph 716). This quote therefore depicts how one can conclude that the Black Power Movement benefited the United States, in similar but slightly different ways as the Civil Rights movement.…
