Constellation Similarity Assertions

Harris, Gershom E.

Greshom E. Harris was president of the Garvey Club during the 1940s. Marcus Garvey, who also established the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), founded the Garvey Club, Inc., or New York Garvey Club. The Garvey Club was the parent organization of the UNIA Central Division in New York City, which split ranks with the Garvey Club around 1927 because of conflicts among the leadership. By 1929, the Garvey Club became officially affiliated with Garvey's Jamaica-based UNIA and African Communities League, and boasted a membership of 600.

Garvey Club divisions were formed in other states including New Jersey, Illinois, Louisiana, Ohio and Mississippi. Members of the original Garvey Club maintained close ties with both Marcus Garvey and his wife Amy Jacques Garvey. The Garvey Club was instrumental in organizing a memorial for Garvey after his death in 1940, as well as reorganizing the central administration of the UNIA in the months after his demise.
