And not even dead American nogs, but a Jamaicoon batwinged 85 years ago. Very important business.
President Biden (https://www.axios.com/politics-policy/joe-biden)is being pressured to grant a posthumous pardon for Marcus Garvey (https://www.history.com/topics/black-history/marcus-garvey) — a Black nationalist who was influential to Malcolm X (https://www.axios.com/2021/02/21/malcolm-x-letter-nypd-fbi-assassination-link), Nelson Mandela (https://www.axios.com/2023/02/27/cia-capture-nelson-mandela), and later generations of Black Panther Party activists.
Why it matters: The Jamaican-born Garvey was convicted of mail fraud (https://www.archives.gov/research/african-americans/individuals/marcus-garvey)on June 21, 1923, in a case that supporters have long said was politically motivated and aimed at discrediting his growing popularity among Black Americans amid lynchings and racial violence.
Flashback: The elder Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/features/garvey-unia/) (UNIA) in 1914, which championed Black pride, economic independence and Pan-Africanism.
Nigger improvement?
Garvey was convicted of mail fraud for promoting stock sales for his Black Star Line shipping company with allegedly misleading materials, including an image of a ship the company had not yet acquired.
Oh. Maybe a statue can be erected.
