From history commentators, those charges against Garvey were cooked up charges, jf that was the case, it's a shame Garvey is being pardon for things he did not do

Agree - record should be expunged but no president can do that. At least this is a start

From Wiki

Federal
Federal offenses are difficult to obtain expungement and vary based upon the federal circuit. Some federal circuits have upheld the inherent right of judges to order expungement while others have held the opposite.[3] Most persons who have been convicted of federal offenses and who want relief from the consequences of the conviction are limited to seeking a pardon, but pardons are rarely granted.[4]

Thanks to the unrelenting efforts by the Garvey Association mainly located in Harlem.
Nice reward for their efforts...Can't say I have any good words to say about the leadership
of Jamaican PMs over the years.
When Obama visited, he sent money to have a road way repaved to take him to destination from
NM Airport...but he should have brought such a Pardon with him..but Portia was in charge..
Jamaica sure have had its fair share of deadheads as leaders ..No way would I entertain the first Black President to
my country when his country treated our First National Hero with such disdain after trumped up charges against him
to boot..
But I am relieved even though its been over 70 years for a first step has been taken. Expungement should be
the next step...but who among the eat-a-food generation will step forward.???????sad

Perhaps the Criminal President Trump who will assume the World Leadership will move on this in the cause of a fellow c'riminal'. Nothing to this for
him..he is seen as a Walker on water in today's America. cool

But he may demand Jamaica as the 52nd State lol

This still doesn't untarnish Biden's legacy.

This doesn't make Garvey more or less of a hero or whatever you perceive

My maternal great uncles were Garveyites. One attended Howard and the other Tuskegee.
They were from Suriname. The Howard uncle introduced my grandma to her Bajan husband.

Garvey were everywhere.
