GARVEY, MARCUS. COX, EARNEST SEVIER.
Let My People Go.
16
pages. Tall 16mo, original printed pale blue wrappers, stapled.
Richmond, VA: White American Society, 1925
[300/400]
Third edition (revised) of a message from white men who wish to keep the white race white, to black
men who wish to keep the black race black, including the terms of an alliance between these groups
against the whites who wish to mix with the Negroes and the negroes who wish to mix with the
whites. Cox, an unabashed racist, was founder of the White America Society. This little book was the
result of conversations with Marcus Garvey, and is dedicated to him, “a Martyr for the Independence
and integrity of the Negro race.” Garvey’s “alliance” with Cox and the Grand Dragon of the Klan
cost him a great many of his followers.

Vp, [1920’s]-1950’s
[800/1,200]
An interesting group of material from the
U.N.I.A. The first photograph shows Garvey
leaving New York City’s famous jail, “The
Tombs;” the next image is that of a parade in
the West Indies (circa 1952); the third is of a
breakaway sect, Negroes of the World. While
Garvey’s movement lost most of it steam fol-
lowing his alliance with the Klan Grand
Wizard, the movement carried on in England
and his native Jamaica.
