Elizabeth Anna was a well-known street corner speaker and was involved in the struggles of the Harlem Tenants League in the 1920s. Harlem was a black metropolis, and West Indians were part of a larger, more Pan-African, demographic group. Of the Caribbean immigrants the Virgin Islander knew more about the U.S. and their discrimination against blacks due to the colonisation of the Danish Islands in 1917. With Ashley L. Totten she formed the Virgin Islands Protective Association, which aimed at addressing the mistreatment of those in their homeland. As radical street-corner speakers these Virgin Islander immigrants, such as Elizabeth Anna really shone. "The street corner became the most viable location for an alternative politics and the place where new social movements gained a hearing and recruited supporters". Authorities frequently blamed Caribbean immigrants for stirring up discontent in Harlem. Elizabeth Anna introduced her radical thoughts to a mass that was eager at least to listen to new ideas. In this way Elizabeth Anna, among other Virgin Islanders, played a significant part in the shaping of politics in New York City. TBC.
