(Black PR Wire) Wilmington, Delaware – On the heels of President Joe Biden's recent pardoning of his son and commutation of several sentences from federal death row, 21 Members of Congress have formally appealed to President Biden in a letter to exonerate Marcus Garvey for "mail fraud in a case that was marred by prosecutorial and governmental misconduct." 

Along with notable legal scholars, business and community leaders nationwide, the Center for Global Africa (CGA) led by Professor Ezrah Aharone, Founder & Chair, Center for Global Africa, USA and the Marcus Garvey Institute for Human Development (MGIHD) led by Dr. Julius Garvey the surviving son of Marcus Garvey will host a press conference to amplify Delaware voices who are calling on President Joe Biden to take action. 

This empowering event takes place on Thursday, January 2, 2025 from 3 – 4 PM (EST), Peter Spencer Plaza @ The Garvey Flag, located at 800 N. French Street in Wilmington, Delaware.  

The Center for Global Africa recently released The Garvey Legacy Film Trailer www.legacymovementfilm.com to support the exoneration movement and mobilize Delaware’s black leadership to align with national and international networks that are advocating for reparative justice for Marcus Garvey.  On November 19th, Dr. Julius Garvey released Justice 4 Garvey, a collection of informative essays and personal narratives about the senior Garvey's life and work, demonstrating his essential influence on current social justice movements.
