WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden on Sunday posthumously pardoned Black nationalist Marcus Garvey, who influenced Malcolm X and other civil rights leaders and was convicted of mail fraud in the 1920s.

This historic pardon culminates a decades-long fight by Marcus Garvey’s descendants and supporters to right the wrongs of a what many regarded as a politically motivated conviction.

President Joe Biden posthumously pardoned civil rights leader and Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey, along with four others, and commuted two sentences.

"Garvey’s life was dedicated to [a] vision of justice larger than any single race or nation. His wrongful conviction [is] a reflection of the work that remains before us.”

President Biden on Sunday pardoned Marcus Garvey, one of the first Black civil rights leaders, more than 80 years after Garvey’s death.

Congressional leaders had pushed for Biden to pardon Garvey, with supporters arguing that Garvey’s conviction was politically motivated and an effort to silence the increasingly popular leader who spoke of racial pride.

Joe Biden "accomplished something that President Obama didn't do," 91-year-old Julius Garvey told Newsweek about his father's posthumous pardon.

In about the time it takes to say “Martin Luther King Jr.’s birthday,” President Trump has launched a nuclear attack on everything the civil rights leader ever stood for.
