Although this image depicts a parade in Harlem, the parades that used to be held in Cleveland were of a very similar caliber. Many of the gatherings or conferences of the UNIA-ACL would conclude with a large parade. The Cleveland group specifically held a good number of these events, with subsequent parades and marches. In June 1935, Cleveland hosted a three-day session of the local UNIA divisions, in which they discussed the goals of the UNIA-ACL to rebuild “the morale of the official body in America.” In June 1937, members of the Cleveland group demonstrated their dedication to the UNIA-ACL organization by expressing interest in attending the 1937 UNIA conference in Toronto, attending via charter bus. | Source: Photo also seen in the Cleveland Call and Post UNIA-ACL Cleveland, OH.Download Original File
