Answer:

C. Marcus Garvey

Step-by-step explanation:

Marcus Garvey was a Jamaican-born political activist, journalist, entrepreneur and orator. He became involved in unionism in Jamaica, and eventually founded UNIA (Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League). He was also a black nationalist and Pan-Africanist. Although extremely successful and admired, some of his views were controversial, particularly those of separatism as opposed to racial integration.
