In 1916, Garvey moved to the United States, and founded a newspaper called Black World. In 1917 he formed in the USA. The first section of the UNIA outside Jamaica and began its conference tours in which he advocated the return of former black slaves to Africa. To support this opinion Garvey said that "educational, industrial and political success is based on the protection of a nation founded by us and that nation can only be in Africa." In fact, Garvey considered that racial segregation widely practiced and tolerated in the United States actually prevented all possible integration of blacks in American society, stating that such "integration" (postulated by other black leaders as WEB Du Bois) would result in failure . Garvey even created a steam ship company called "Black Star Line" for transportation to Africa, Haiti, Jamaica, Costa Rica and elsewhere to employ African sailors.
