The African Legion: The First Black Military in the US

[↓R↑LYB]

In the 1920’s, Marcus Garvey created the Universal African Legion. The sole purpose of the military unit was to prepare young black men for the redemption of Africa and for the protection of the UNIA members across the world. It instilled discipline and respect to young black men all over the globe and even provided money for mothers who’s sons were enlisted.

It's impressive they had this much coordination with no Internet/social media

In 2024 they would call him a tether and make AI memes of him eating rice and peas.

Thats cute,but I wish he wouldve focused and spent his energy on uniting the gangs. How could black people or this movement possibly thrive if George "Wheezy" Mcgraw and Pearl "Dutchess" Randolph couldnt run numbers together peacefully.
