This video is primarily about a rights activist by the name of Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr. He was a highly opinionated individual who took after his father in that he knew what he desired and he would fight for it. His primal focus was forming a separate “black nation” which would involve the resettlement of African Americans to their native country. Garvey believed that through this, they would achieve true rights and suitable freedom. He is most known for the Pan-Africanism movement and Black nationalism. This relates to the U.S. president at the time because he struggled as well to bare the civil rights protesters and was a highly pressured leader. 

 Although African Americans did not progress much during the Progressive Era, Marcus Garvey contributed to the little positive movement of the African Americans during that time. Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican leader who was known for arranging the first African American nationalist movement in America. He created an organization as known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). The UNIA reached its greatest peak in the 1920s, following  Garvey's deportation from the United States after which the movement proceeded downhill. With his little help, it made a difference in the future of the prevailing movement of African Americans and paved the way for famous Civil Rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr.
