Garvey's version of black nationalism argued that african americans' quest for social equality was a delusion. they were fated to be a permanent minority who could never assimilate because white americans would never let them. true or false?

The answer is: TRUE

Explanation:

In the early twentieth century, Marcus Garvey and his movement, the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA), founded in his native Jamaica in 1914, boosted emigration sentiment.

Though scorned by the black middle and professional classes, his "Back to Africa" mantra and charismatic leadership rallied many African Americans.

Although his efforts at sending African Americans back to Africa ultimately failed, Garvey's influence remained strong and inspired some to migrate, on their own, to the land of their ancestors.
