Aside from sabotage of the major business, the star line, what about the small businesses. Were those abandoned? Past on? Sold?

Excellent question. I always thought why has no one thought of the concept of Black Star Airlines (A Pan-Afrikan airline) travelling from Afrika to the Caribbean and South America.

A specific study needs to be done on this. But from what I know, much UNIA-ACL property was confiscated by the USA government under various guises. I believe the Liberty Hall in Philly was held for some time and Carlos Cooks kept some of the business alive in Harlem during the 50s/60s. But due the “Great Depression” and the subsequent Mass European war, many went bankrupt or were marginalised to the point of ineffectiveness.
I will as the elders and see if they have more specific info.
