The Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (UNIA-ACL) is a black nationalist fraternal organization founded in 1914 by Marcus Garvey. The organization was founded with the aim of encouraging racial pride and black unity through the slogan "Africa for the Africans at Home and Abroad". By 1919, the UNIA claimed a membership of 2,000,000, and it also had a newspaper, Negro World, a Negro Factory Corporation, and a shipping line called Black Star Line. The UNIA was the most influential anti-colonial organization in Jamaica prior to 1938, and Garvey claimed that he and his followers were "the first fascists", supporting a "authoritarian, elitist, collectivist, racist, and capitalistic" African state. The UNIA's followers were resented by Black leftists such as W.E.B. DuBois (Garvey argued that the CPUSA was a white creation and "(sought) to put government in the hands of an ignorant white mass who (had) not been able to destroy their natural prejudices towards Negroes and other non-white people") and more moderate Blacks, leading to clashes during the 1920s. After Garvey's deportation, the UNIA's prestige and influence declined.
