International League for Darker People
The International League for Darker People was created on 2 January 1919 on an estate on the banks of the Hudson River owned by Madam C. J. Walker. The purpose of the organisation was to bring together African-Americans with other non-European people to pursue coherent shared goals at the Paris Peace Conference, 1919.[1]
Walker was joined by Marcus Garvey, A. Philip Randolph, and Adam Clayton Powell, Sr.
Walker initiated links between the League and the Japanese publisher Shuroku Kuroiwa.
