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.

In 1945 it acted as an “alien” pressure group focused on ranging into peacetime a “new negro” image left from the excess of wartime propaganda ideals that underlined unity, tolerance, and brotherhood.

    The NAACP was founded in 1909 by a group of not only black but also white citizens. The interest group formed was in New York to help citizens fight for political, educational, social, and economical equality for African Americans. Prior to the Civil Rights Movement, the Republican Party saw separate but equal as fair and the Republican Party was molded by a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant male perspective. The Republicans see the NAACP as a threat and a black activist group with an agenda. In 2005, party leader Ken Mehlman made headlines with a speech to NAACP members apologizing for his party 's history of using racial divisions in appealing for white votes (Thompson, 2009). The current Republican National Committee Chairman is an African American man named Michael S. Steele. Steele was a part of the campaign called the “Freedom Tour”, which was an attempt to build a relationship between black voters and the GOP. Steele challenged the NAACP to join him on his "Freedom Tour," which he described as a conversation he is to have with predominantly black communities to discuss issues such as poverty and entrepreneurship (Thompson, 2009).The Democratic party being predominately black welcomed the NAACP. The Democratic Party partners with the NAACP on many…

    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 original Rastas drew their inspiration from the philosophies of Marcus Mosiah Garvey (1887-1940), who promoted the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) in the 1920s. The organization 's main goal was to unite black people with their rightful homeland, Africa. Garvey believed that all black people in the western world should return to Africa since they were all descended from Africans. He preached that the European colonizers, having fragmented the African continent, unfairly spread the African population throughout the world. As a result, blacks were not able to organize themselves politically or express themselves socially. Their intellect had been stunted by continuous European oppression. Enslavement had provided blacks with a "slave mentality" so that they had come to accept white racist definitions of themselves as inferior. For Garvey, blacks in the Americas had not only been repressed physically, but their minds had been affected by years of white subordination. Slavery had degregaded them so badly that they actually considered themselves as little more than slaves.…
