Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives with respect to Marcus Garvey.

This is a non-binding House resolution expressing the sense of the House regarding Marcus Garvey. The resolution asserts that Garvey, a Jamaican-born leader who founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (UNIA) and led a large Black rights movement, was unjustly prosecuted and convicted in the United States. It states that Garvey should be internationally recognized as a leader in human rights and calls on the President to use his constitutional powers to exonerate Garvey and restore his good name. The bill presents Garvey’s life and impact as a basis for posthumous rehabilitation and commemoration, but it does not itself change law or policy. Because it is a resolution, not a statute, it expresses the sense of Congress and signals congressional support for exoneration and rehabilitation of Garvey’s reputation. The action requested—posthumous exoneration by the President—is a political/administrative step rather than a new legal entitlement.
