On the website I read an article about the Universal Negro improvement Association. Marcus Garvey was the first African-American leader in history to oragnize masses of people in a political movement. He decided to launch the Universal Negro Improvement Association with the goal of unifying "all the Negro peoples of the world into one great body and to establish a country and government absolutely on their own". This reminded me of what Bessie tried to do in Having Our Say. Bessie protested her views with no descretion. She was honest and fought for what she believed it. Her and Marcus Garvey had that in common. Even though she didn't have as much of an impact as he did, her voice was still important and made a diference.
