Hello All:
This is an emergency - we're on deadline here! No, not me personally, but we Black African Americans!! This is time sensitive and needs all of us to weigh in and sign the petition so that President Obama will understand how serious this is and his role to play in this historical moment!
I'm cutting to the chase - the link to the petition is below. Click on it, sign it, and be counted among those of us who know Garvey was railroaded, and that the future of African Americans was likewise derailed in the process.
I have already written a comprehensive overview of Garvey's greatness in my recent post dated August 16, 2016 - which you can feel free to access in its entirety - (http://gloria-dulan-wilson.blogspot.com/2016/08/the-great-marcus-garvey-stop-honoring.html )
But, now is the time to take a stand and make your place in history known.
Sign the petition -

We the people ask the federal government to Take or explain a position on an issue or policy:
Grant Marcus Mosiah Garvey a Posthumous Presidential Pardon of His Wrongful 1923 Conviction
Created by M.C. on August 29, 2016
Marcus
Garvey should be posthumously pardoned for his wrongful conviction for
use of the mails in furtherance of a scheme to defraud. During a time
when Blacks were seen as second class citizens, Garvey led a mass
movement to elevate the Black community through economic empowerment and
independence. He was convicted after being targeted by J. Edgar Hoover
and deprived of a fair trial. His sentence was later commuted by
President Calvin Coolidge on recommendation by the U.S. Attorney General
and with the support of 9 of the 12 jurors who voted to convict. Garvey
never abandoned his movement to empower people of the African diaspora
and he was recognized as a forebearer of the Civil Rights Movement by
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and Malcolm X. Today, his legacy is
celebrated the world over.
