In one of his final acts as the leader of the country, President Joe Biden issued a posthumous pardon to Black nationalist Marcus Garvey on Sunday (Jan. 19). The early civil rights figure led a movement against racial inferiority in the U.

President Joe Biden pardoned five people on Sunday, including the late civil rights leader Marcus Garvey, and commuted the sentences of two.

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.
