    On January 10, 2007, Representative Charles Rangel introduced H. Con. Res. 24 to the 110th Congress: "Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should grant a pardon to Marcus Mosiah Garvey to clear his name and affirm his innocence of crimes for which he was unjustly prosecuted and convicted." This bill didn't make it out of committee.

    We, the undersigned, are requesting the assistance of our representatives in reintroducing the resolution with the following change in the wording: "Expressing the sense of the Congress that the President should exonerate Marcus Mosiah Garvey to clear his name and affirm his innocence of crimes for which he was unjustly prosecuted and convicted." We urge Congress to take action and reintroduce H.Con.Res. 24 to exonerate Marcus Mosiah Garvey. Check out the bill here: http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/110/hconres24/text

    Thank God that in 2013 someone brought this up. If we, I mean people of African origin are free of the mind, is it due to work of Hon. Marcus Garvy. I have searched countless of videos to understand the true nature of THE man and could not find any. Whether we exonerate Mr. Garvy or not, I think it is long over due. Every peace loving people of the world MUST stand behind this movement to exonerate the FATHER of African's self empowerment and individualism all over the world. Peace......

    The type of punishment minted out toward Marcus Mosiah Garvey was clearly unjustifiable. Congress used Marcus Garvey Triangle Economical Trade Plan via their Triangle Free Trade Plan with Mexico, America and Canada. Congress should exonerate Marcus Masiah Garvey from unjustifiable convictions and exploitation.

    The following is an excerpt from a book entitled "The Story of the Jamaican People" Marcus Mosiah Garvey. 1887-1940: In 1919 the United States Department of Justice , under J. Edgar Hoover, assigned special agents to monitor his activities, and an attempt was made upon his life that year. Efforts were also made to keep him out of the United States by denying him a re-entry visa in 1921....
