Thomas Garvey

Garvey worked tirelessly in his career to advance UNIA’s colonization schemes across Africa. However, when anti-Jewish suspicion flourished during this era of political climate change and Garvey held positive views of Jews he eventually began harboring reservations about them and held negative feelings toward them himself.

Early Life and Education

Garvey drew upon a wide array of literary and philosophical sources in crafting “African Fundamentalism.” For instance, this movement draws heavily from Christian fundamentalist ideas who sought an ideological base free of modern rationalism as well as Populist fundamentalist beliefs which advocated maintaining older agrarian practices.

He employed classical allusion to strengthen his arguments for black nobility and supremacy, such as by asserting that Cicero and Socrates weren’t exclusively Roman; and likening their nobility with that of Joan of Arc.

As the Black Star Line struggled, Garvey launched a recruitment drive to recruit more dues-paying members for UNIA. His efforts coincided with an effort for segregationist racial segregation across Southern states; to which end, Garvey met with members of Ku Klux Klan leadership.

Achievement and Honors

Garvey established a dynamic link between traditional forms of racial fraternity and educational programs of self-culture, thus producing a system of “negro industrial education,” emphasizing economic and moral advancement. He reimagined Masonic ideals of secret revolutionary brotherhoods as the basis for building black political power.

Garvey began shifting away from his earlier belief that white society could be altered through political action and instead stressed a cult of racial purity and attacked any notion of social equality. This shift cemented UNIA’s hold over more areas of black communities while simultaneously bestowing Garvey with transcendent mythic significance.

He is survived by his wife, children and grandchildren. He was an active member of Mary Mother of Hope Parish as well as participating in Brimfield Sportsmen’s Club and John Boyle O’Riley Club activities.
