Diaspora leaders celebrate Marcus Garvey’s posthumous pardon
Caribbean-American leaders, including Congresswoman Yvette Clarke, have welcomed the posthumous pardon of Jamaica’s first national hero, Marcus Garvey, granted by outgoing U.S.
President Joe Biden on January 19.
The long-awaited decision, which rectifies a historical injustice, has sparked celebration and renewed calls for full exoneration.
In a statement to the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC), Yvette Clarke, the Jamaican-American Democratic Congresswoman from Brooklyn, New York, expressed her profound gratitude for the pardon, calling it a significant step in recognizing Garvey’s immense contributions to civil rights and the Black community.
“I’m extraordinarily grateful for President Biden’s action to posthumously grant clemency to a true national hero of Jamaica, the Most Hon Marcus Garvey,” said Clarke, who is also the newly elected chair of the Congressional Black Caucus.
