President Biden's posthumous pardon of Marcus Garvey acknowledges the politically motivated nature of Garvey's conviction and recognizes his influential role in the civil rights movement.
The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. recognized Garvey's significant impact, stating he was 'the first man, on a mass scale and level' to inspire 'a sense of dignity and destiny' among Black people.
Biden has set a presidential record for individual pardons and commutations, emphasizing his commitment to criminal justice reform and addressing historical injustices through these actions.
Biden’s pardons, including nearly 2,500 for nonviolent drug offenses, reflect a contrasting approach to justice compared to Trump, who favored capital punishment.
