the charge. Absolutely exchange

Convention will mark a turning point
in negro history, the Universal Negro
Improvement Association closed its
international meeting last week, after
the Inauguration of officers at Lib
erty Hall, New York.
Marcus Garvey, who conceived the
thirty-day meeting and the idea OF
the redemption of Africa by the ne
groes, took the oath of office as Pro
visional President of Africa. The
oath was administered by G. A. Nc
CURE, the newly elected Chaplain
General of the organization. Garvey's
flowing robe of crimson slashed with
vivid green, and McGuire's lacy white
vestiments fringed with red, stood out
brilliantly against the dusky back
ground of a dozen sturdy negroes
clad in the uniform of the new Afri-
can militia.
The hall was profusely decorated
with streamers, and everywhere the
stars and stripes were draped beside
the red, black and green that have
been adopted as the colors of the
African Republic. A breathless hush
was proof of the seriousness of the
audience.
Although Garvey was not chosen
to the highest office in the associa-
ton, his Inauguration was received
with the most attention, as he is
looked upon as the actual leader OF
his race, in spite Of the fact that
Gabriel Joh son, Mayor of Monrovia,
Liberia, was elected Grand Potentate
and Leader of the Negroes of the
World.
