Julius Garvey receives long-awaited pardon for his father Marcus Garvey, a Black nationalist and activist. President Biden's last-minute action clears his name.

President Joe Biden posthumously pardoned Marcus Mosiah Garvey Jr., a civil rights leader, as part of his commitment to building a more inclusive America and correcting historical injustices.

Civil rights advocates and lawmakers have long said that Mr. Garvey’s 1923 conviction for mail fraud was unjust, arguing that he was targeted for his work.
