Bill overview
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives’ view that Marcus Garvey, a prominent Jamaican activist and founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, deserves recognition for his contributions to the fight for Black rights and economic self-sufficiency. The bill acknowledges Garvey’s history, including his advocacy for African-American empowerment and the challenges he faced due to government surveillance and a politically motivated conviction. It calls for the exoneration of his name and urges the President to take steps to restore his reputation in the United States.
