Bishop George Alexander McGuire was a pioneering Black religious leader and founder of the African Orthodox Church. A staunch advocate for racial pride and spiritual independence, McGuire worked closely with Marcus Garvey and served as Chaplain-General of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). He sought to establish a religious institution that affirmed African identity and autonomy in the face of racial discrimination. His legacy endures as a key figure in the intersection of faith and Black liberation.
