This grant looks to support doctoral candidates working on aspects of the history of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, the African Communities League, and/or Marcus Garvey’s organizational activities, and who wish to use the Thomas W. Harvey/U.N.I.A. collection (Finding Aid: http://bit.ly/2zh0dYr) located at Emory University’s Manuscript, Archives, and Rare Book Library. Research fellows receive grants of $500 to help defray expenses associated with travel to—and use of—the archival collection.
