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

President Joe Biden announced a series of clemency actions on Sunday, pardoning five individuals and commuting the sentences of two others, calling these pardons an effort to uphold America’s promise of second chances.

The president’s pardon of Garvey, a seminal figure in the civil rights movement, is another reflection of his presidency’s ties to the Black community.
