Although Clevelander Mason Hargrave was elected president general in 1975 and was the one responsible for moving the Parent Body back to Cleveland, this small resurgence in the movement was not enough to continue the organization in perpetuity. It was in his tenure, however, that the organization promoted the acceptance of the red, green, and black nationalist flag and was instrumental in having it flown for the first time over Cleveland City Hall in 1974. You can see his placement of the flag within City Hall in this photo. It was also Hargrave that led efforts to restore the UNIA-ACL Building in the 1980s. | Date: 1984 | Source: Cleveland Public Library Digital Collection Download Original File
