Answer:

Marcus Garvey advocated for black-owned businesses and separation from whites.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus Garvey was a journalist and the first African American nationalist leader. In 1914 he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Its goal was to unite all the black peoples of the world into one own country and administration.

In 1916, Garvey moved to New York and established UNIA headquarters in the Harlem district. From there, the organization spread to other parts of the United States and abroad.

Garvey sought to create a culture of blacks on their own terms, without the influence of whites. He wanted blacks to become self-sufficient socially, culturally, and economically. Garvey believed in the racial purity of blacks and opposed racial mixing. He believed in the pride of blacks for their own cultural heritage and the common struggle against racial oppression. He sought the “United States of Africa,” the citizenship of which every black man could acquire.
