- Summary
- "Pamphlet containing the official minutes of the Western Hemisphere Conference of the UNIA-ACL, held in Cleveland, Ohio from August 15-20, 1941. This was the first UNIA Convention held in the US since Garvey's death; due to the ongoing conflict of World War II, international delegates were represented by proxy. The conference hosted a massive Garvey Day rally and parade on August 17, and during the conference proceedings, it was resolved that the third Sunday of June in every year would be called Memorial Day, in remembrance of Garvey. An incredibly detailed and insightful document, chronicling the inner workings of a key UNIA gathering."--Supplied by Lorn Bair Rare Books, Inc.
