Let's remember the rich history of the UNIA/ACL, if one has forgotten, then let one reacquaint themselves, and if one unfamiliar, let one study. When done together, the vision will become clearer. We will regain the footing necessary to lead a might race of people and finish what was started! - sis Marlene
Welcome to the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League (also known as the UNIA); Division 121 Thomas W. Harvey Memorial Hall website. We are located at 1609-11 Cecil B. Moore Ave in Philadelphia, PA 19121.
There's a rich history filled with many accomplishments and tasks yet to be finished. We want to acquaint you with the history of the UNIA /ACL and this local division, as we add to the historical rich greats who have graced this hall.
We want to "fulfill" the legacy of the UNIA/ACL, and build upon the firm foundation that the Hon. Marcus Garvey set before us.
This is hard work, and it will take the efforts of everyone committed to self, community, regional and global improvement for those of African descent around the globe.
We have much work to do, so let us "GET UP AND GO" and honor the Hon. Marcus Garvey who sacrificed his whole life's work, time and talent to improve the Negro's status in every part of the world.
Get Up And Go!
Please clear the way and let me pass,
If you intend to give up here:
It seems a shame that you should yield
Your life without its fullest share.
You are a coward for your pains,
To come this way, and then blow out:
Real men are made of stuff to last,
Which they, themselves, would never doubt.
Get up! You broken bits of flesh!
Take courage and go fighting on;
For every black man there's a day,
Which pride in race has well begun.
by Marcus Garvey
