This resolution expresses the sense of the House of Representatives regarding Marcus Garvey, acknowledging his historical significance as the founder of the Universal Negro Improvement Association and a leader of the largest African-American movement for human rights and economic self-sufficiency. It highlights that Garvey's prosecution for mail fraud, imprisonment, and deportation were politically motivated, with unsubstantiated charges and an unjust conviction. The House asserts that Marcus Garvey was innocent of the charges brought against him and should be recognized internationally as a leader and thinker in the struggle for human rights . Furthermore, it calls upon the President to take appropriate measures within his power to exonerate Marcus Garvey and restore his good name in the United States.
