One hundred years ago, Marcus Mosiah Garvey and the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) organized thousands of Africans from around the world in order to hold the First International Convention of the Negro Peoples of the World in New York City. Two historic things stood out at the convention. First and foremost, African people decreed our independence and, secondly, we adopted the Red, Black, and Green flag as the flag of the African nation.

Today, the African People’s Socialist Party (APSP) fights to complete Garvey’s revolutionary blueprint.
