The NAACP is against segregation, while the UNIA supports segregation. NAACP stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) was established by Marcus Garvey in Jamaica in 1914. Garvey arrived in the United States on 23rd March 1916 and immediately launched a year-long tour of the country. He organized the first branch of UNIA in June 1917 and began published the Negro World, a journal that promoted his African nationalist ideas. Garvey's organization was extremely popular and by 1919 UNIA had 30 branches and over 2 million members.

I believe the answer is: UNIA believed and support segregation.

Marcus Garvey, the leader of UNIA at that time, believed that white citizens would never be able to accept the black citizens as equal even in non-segregated society. So He believed that black people better of separated themselves from the whites and formed an independent society.
