Change.org has started a petition to send to President Obama to encourage him to pardon Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican activist who started the “Back To Africa” movement in the 1920s in Harlem.
President Calvin Coolidge granted Marcus Mosiah Garvey a pardon on November 18, 1927. However, he was deported to Jamaica never to return to the United States again and died in 1940 in London, England.
However, a damaged reputation was left behind, and to date his name and legacy has not been cleared and restored to its honorable position from a legal standpoint.
