SUMMARYGarvey to Earnest Sevier Cox, Aug 8, 1925 (telegram and letter; The Marcus Garvey and UNIA Papers, scholarly edition). Garvey praises Cox's White America ("a masterpiece"), says "we fundamentally agree," offers a "prospectus of alliance," and writes "The fact is that the modern Negro is a lazy, good for nothing slumberer." P.O. Box 1733, Atlanta: Garvey was in the Atlanta federal penitentiary at the time (entered Feb 1925). Cox was a white-supremacist author campaigning to send Black Americans to Africa. Record. Lens: the "back to Africa" removal push and a white removalist allied openly; for a people claiming this land, repatriation = removal from it.
