What was Marcus Garvey's destination?

I know that Garvey had massive success with his Back to Africa movement, but does anyone know where he wanted to go? Liberia? Ethiopia? Sierra Leone?

Garvey was planning on Liberia for his followers to go to. The book "Brothers and Strangers: Black Zion, Black Slavery, 1914-1940" by I. K. Sundiata covers Garvey's rise and fall among other things and I fully recommend it.

Thanks. I was also wondering, if he and his followers had reached Liberia, how would the new influx of American Liberians have affected the already entrenched Americo-Liberian power structure?
