How do you think Dr. Carter G. Woodson's views of African American life might have differed from those of Marcus Garvey

Sagot :

How I do think Dr. Carter G. Woodson's views of African American life might have differed from those of Marcus Garvey is he believed that African Americans should know their past in order to participate intelligently in the affairs in our country. He also strongly believed that Black history which others have tried so diligently to erase is a firm foundation for young African Americans to build on in order to become productive citizens of our society. While Marcus Garvey believed that African Americans should go and live in Africa and in the principle of Europe for the Europeans, and Asia for the Asiatics and Africa for the Africans at home and abroad. Garvey doubted whether whites in the United States would ever agree to African Americans being treated as equals and argued for segregation rather than integration.

Dr. Carter G. Woodson's views of African American life differed from Marcus Garvey's in the following ways:

Dr. Woodson worked hard to:

  • Ensure inclusion, multiculturalism, and racial harmony for African Americans
  • Campaign against the wrong teaching of African American history
  • For the recognition of the achievements of African Americans
  • Establish Black History Month as a nationwide institution.

On the other hand, Marcus Garvey:

  • Preached equality by encouraging Black Americans to return to Africa
  • Promoted black pride, self-reliance, and an Afrocentric religious Christianity
  • Wanted to achieve black nationalism by founding the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), the Negro World newspaper, Black Star Line (shipping line), and
  • Worked to economically empower blacks through the Negro Factories Corporation.

Thus, while Dr. Carter G Woodson favored racial harmony and inclusion, Marcus Garvey promoted the separation of African Americans so that they could return to Africa.
