As the largest and most extensive movement for the liberation of African descended people in the world, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) has ignited generations of scholarship about Marcus Garvey, Garveyism, the Pan-Africanism. Revisiting Garveyism brings together scholars who have worked on Garveyism and movements that were influenced and inspired by it. Aside from reflecting on major scholarship on black radicalism, Garveyism and the often neglected yet vital contributions of women to the UNIA, the symposium will focus on recent scholarship on Garveyism while highlighting the significance of the Robert A. Hill Papers to this ongoing work. Acquired by the John Hope Franklin Research Center in 2015 the Robert A. Hill Papers hold an extensive body of records about Marcus Garvey and the (UNIA). The speakers in the symposium will include Winston James (UC Irvine), Natanya Duncan (Queens College City University of New York), Adom Getachew (University of Chicago) and Henry Dee (Northumbria University).
