A Star to Steer: Captain of the Booker T. Washington
by Hugh Mulzac

In 1920 Mulzac joined Marcus Garvey’s Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA). Because of his history with seafaring vessels he was named a chief officer on the SS Yarmouth, one of the UNIA’s Black Star Line vessels.

As told to Louis Burnham and Norval Welch.
