Garveyism on parade

    Black and white photo of the parade as it reaches an intersection in Harlem. Large crowds line the street. Parade participants ride in open cars in the foreground. A car shown turning at the intersection carries a plaque that reads THE NEW NEGRO HAS NO FEAR. A row of four-story tenement buildings, covered with fire escapes, form the background of the photo; a large white cigar sign appears on a tenement near the intersection.
