Marcus Garvey was one of the greatest African leaders of the modern era. He built the Universal Negro Improvement Association into a global movement of millions, with a vision of African self-reliance, Black pride, and a return to sovereignty. His movement lit a fire that terrified the powers that be.
But history shows us something critical: Garvey’s ascent was not stopped only by the so-called 'white' supremacists, but also by Jewish figures and black organizations like the NAACP and Boule, a black secret society that was doing the Jew handiwork and also played an outsized role in targeting, undermining, and eventually dismantling his power.
At first, there was cooperation. Some Jewish doctors and businessmen supported Garvey’s UNIA projects. He even praised Jewish solidarity and pointed to Zionism as an example of what Africans could achieve through unity. Garvey saw in their discipline a mirror of what his own people needed.
But the tune changed when Garvey grew too powerful. Suddenly, pressure mounted. Joel Spingarn, a wealthy Jewish leader of the NAACP, spearheaded the “Garvey Must Go” campaign, a relentless effort to discredit and destroy Garvey’s leadership. At the same time, the US legal system closed in. Garvey’s mail fraud trial in 1923 was presided over by Judge Julian Mack, prosecuted by Jewish lawyers, and decided by a jury that included Jewish members. Garvey believed this was no coincidence, he accused them directly of bias and declared that their goal was to silence him permanently.
1. Jewish Supporters and Early Allies
At the height of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), Marcus Garvey received positive support from certain Jewish individuals. For example, financier William C. Ritter contributed to Garvey’s Liberian colonization efforts, and Jewish doctors like Dr. L. A. Goldfine and Dr. J. Gordon publicly backed the movement global.ucla.edu.
2. The Trial: Judge, Jury & Prosecutor
In 1923, Garvey was tried on mail fraud charges. He believed the trial was unfairly influenced by Jewish officials, Judge Julian Mack, the prosecutor, and two Jewish jurors whom he accused of bias Wikipedia Nation of Islam Research Group.

3. "Garvey Must Go" Campaign & Institutional Opposition
Joel Spingarn, the Jewish chairman of the NAACP board, was among the key figures who initiated the “Garvey Must Go” campaign, calling for Garvey’s removal. This movement helped escalate legal pressures against him, culminating in his conviction and eventual deportation Nation of Islam Research Group Counter-Currents.

Initially, Garvey praised Jewish group solidarity, even referencing Zionist strategies as models for African nationalism global.ucla.edu. However, after his conviction, his tone shifted. He made 'antisemitic' comments accusing Jewish involvement in his downfall, notably in the trial, though some scholars note this outburst was likely born of anger rather than ideological conviction.

Garvey went from praising Jewish strategy to condemning Jewish manipulation. And while some claim his criticisms were born of frustration, the fact remains: his downfall was engineered through coordinated campaigns where Jewish influence was central.
The lesson is clear. Power respects only power. When Africans or other races rise to build their own civilization, the enemy of humanity will not hesitate to infiltrate, corrupt, and dismantle those movements. Garvey’s story is not just history; it is a warning.
Africa must rise with eyes open. We must build systems too strong to be infiltrated, leaders too disciplined to be bribed, and people too united to be divided. Garvey’s vision lives on, but it demands a higher clarity. His enemies have not vanished; they have simply changed forms.
If we are to reclaim our destiny, we must understand not only who we are, but also who works endlessly to stop us.

Summary
- Support existed: Jewish patrons 'helped' fund and endorse UNIA’s initiatives in the early years.
- Legal targeting: Garvey’s prosecution was overseen by Jewish authorities, whom he later blamed for his persecution.
- Institutional pressure: Figures like Joel Spingarn and others helped campaign for his downfall.
- Garvey’s evolving views: He admired Jewish solidarity, but later changed after his legal defeat, and we must not forget about the black leaders financed by Jews helped get Garvey deported. The NAACP was Jewish, and W.E.B. Du Bois was one of the main antagonists of Garvey. Dubois was a boule member and Garvey was going to buy land in Liberia, Africa, and Dubois stopped it and got Firestone to buy the land. click here
