Summary: Shortly after returning from a long tour of the Caribbean and Central America in July 1921, Marcus Garvey recorded two brief speeches on a 78 rpm record. The second speech, "Explanation of the Objectives of the Universal Negro Improvement Association," is an extract from a much longer UNIA membership appeal. Although Garvey was famous for his oratory, these speeches are the only known recordings of his voice. Copyright © 1995-2004 The Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers Project, UCLA
