The God of Elijah, Moses and Jesus! The Creator God of Light! Promises of freedom, prosperity and hope for nations. My God painted dreams in our minds, to break the chains forever! I believe in telling the truth even if they don’t want to hear it! I dream of world peace and unity, God Will return and restore our planet.

Untitled[edit]

Hi, i just noticed that the link for Ethel Williams [under "prominent people"] redirects to here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Williams it says "Ethel Leckwith (nee Williams) (born 1893) is a fictional character and one of the protagonists of the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett.[1] She is the oldest child of David and Cara Williams of Aberowen, a fictional town in southern Wales." Can someone fix this, I am not an editor so I don't know how. Thanks

Removed from page:

Therefore, let justice be done to all mankind, realizing that if the strong oppresses the weak, confusion and discontent will ever mark the path of man but with love, faith and charity towards all the reign of peace and plenty will be heralded into the world and the generations of men shall be called Blessed."

I presume it is missing a " at the beginning but where is it from? A UNIA document? A UNIA member? Rmhermen 22:39, Nov 5, 2003 (UTC)

Solved my own problem and returned quote. Does this group do anything in particular? From the website I see that they sponsor Garvey birthday commemorations, have a convention and support a pan-African state. Rmhermen 23:05, Nov 5, 2003 (UTC)

Monrovia Parent Body[edit]

I changed this to Parent Body in Monrovia. The section that follows is filled with many names and dates as leadership changes. Unless more material can be added on events associated with the leaders or their programs, it would be easier to present this as a list or table with names, dates and places. I shortened some sentences and created new paragraph breaks to try to make it easier to understand. There may need to be an additional section head title, too, for some of the activities in the US.--Parkwells 21:14, 4 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ethel Williams[edit]

Hi, I was doing some research about prominent women in the movement & I noticed that the link for Ethel Williams redirects to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethel_Williams it says: "Ethel Leckwith (nee Williams) (born 1893) is a fictional character and one of the protagonists of the Century Trilogy by Ken Follett.[1] She is the oldest child of David and Cara Williams of Aberowen, a fictional town in southern Wales." can someone fix this? I am not an editor & don't know how. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.188.14.180 (talk) 08:24, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well spotted. I couldn't find anyone with this name in this organisation, so clearly not notable if she was real. I've deleted it. Thanks. Dougweller (talk) 14:47, 8 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the term African-American[edit]

The terms African-American and American Negro are NOT synonymous. The term American Negro should be used, and NOT African-American. There is no such thing as an African-American, and people should stop replacing American Negro with this baseless term. 162.200.57.224 (talk) 06:08, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
