  Fellowmen of Negro blood,

  With undaunted faith in God,

  Come along, and take your places

  With the men of other races.

  Though we long have trampled been,

  We a ray of hope have seen.

  Women, men, and children small,

  List to Marcus Garvey’s call.

   

  Men of Ethiopia’s race,

  You are Negroes, ‘tis no disgrace.

  Let us then united be

  In our fight for liberty.

   

  U.N.I.A. and A.C.L.

  Wheresoever man may dwell,

  Your flag of red, and black, and green

  High above all shall be seen.

   

  Africa shall win the day

  Though men and devils be in the way,

  We are in the fight ‘gainst might.

  God is with us; all is right.

      H. Percival Welsh

      President U.N.I.A.

      43 Barnett Street, Montego Bay

• 1 2018-10-25T06:59:17-07:00 The U.N.I.A., by Thomas H. Brooks 3 plain 2019-05-31T19:01:33-07:00

  The U.N.I.A. is a theme,

  Which millions are entwined

  With well wrought plans or business schemes,

  And brotherhood combined.

   

  It means that all should fall in line,

  With the advancing guide:

  Responding to the sign of time,

  The new emblem of pride.

   

  There are great adventures lie in wait,

  Make this a gorgeous year:

  Get out of that hesitating gate,

  The break of morn is near.

   

  Our far off kin, of whom we’ve dreamed,

  Beyond the tossing wave:

  Await our coming to redeem

  The land, which God has gave.

   

  About-face to that sunny shore!

  Where tyrants ruling bind:

  And hold enthralled, a stupid host

  Of untrained human mind.

   

  In one procession let us charge!

  Forth with the lofty theme:

  ‘Till nations all salute the bark

  That bear, red, black and green.

      Thomas H. Brooks,

      32 Granville Street, Piitsburgh, PA, Division 61.
