President Joe Biden, on Jan. 19, granted a posthumous pardon to Marcus Garvey, a black nationalist who was convicted of mail fraud in the 1920s and was famous for influencing Malcolm X.
“Today, I am exercising my clemency power to pardon five individuals and commute the sentences of two individuals who have demonstrated remorse, rehabilitation, and redemption,” Biden said in a statement. “These clemency recipients have each made significant contributions to improving their communities.”
