Bill overview
This resolution expresses the House of Representatives’ view that Marcus Garvey, a prominent figure in the fight for Black rights and economic self-sufficiency, should be recognized for his contributions. The bill acknowledges Garvey’s historical persecution by the U.S. government, including a mail fraud conviction and deportation, which it deems politically motivated and unjust. It calls for the President to take steps to exonerate Garvey and restore his reputation in the United States. The resolution highlights Garvey’s legacy as a national hero in Jamaica and a significant figure globally.
