President Biden Issues Posthumous Pardon for Marcus Garvey

DALLAS - Jan. 22, 2025 - PRLog -- President Joe Biden has granted a posthumous pardon to Marcus Mosiah

Garvey, the iconic civil rights leader and global advocate for Black empowerment, overturning his

1923 conviction for mail fraud. This momentous decision follows decades of advocacy and

underscores the enduring importance of addressing historical injustices.

As a civil rights attorney and advocate for justice, I am deeply honored to have played a role in this

historic outcome. Alongside a coalition of passionate advocates, historians, and legal experts, I had

the privilege of assembling and delivering a compelling case to President Biden, highlighting the

unjust nature of Mr. Garvey's conviction and the monumental impact of his contributions to civil

rights and global unity.

Mr. Garvey's legacy as the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and

the Black Star Line remains a cornerstone of the global movement for self-determination and

empowerment. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once described him as "the first man of color in the

history of the United States to lead and develop a mass movement."

"This posthumous pardon is not only a recognition of the injustice Marcus Garvey endured but also

a celebration of the transformative impact of his work," said Justin Moore, Esq. "To have delivered

this petition directly to President Biden, knowing the historical significance of this moment, is a

humbling and deeply meaningful honor."

As a civil rights attorney and advocate, I remain committed to continuing the fight for justice and

the preservation of legacies like Mr. Garvey's that have inspired generations. This pardon serves as

a reminder of the power of advocacy and the importance of honoring the contributions of those who

paved the way for progress.
