Justice for Marcus Garvey: The Way Forward
The Marcus Garvey Institute for Human Development, Howard University School of Law, and The Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center invite you to a once-in-a-lifetime event when global thought leaders and visionaries in law, public policy, nonprofits, and academia will come together to celebrate the life and legacy of the great Pan Africanist Civil and Human Rights Leader, Marcus Mosiah Garvey.
With the January 2025 granting of the posthumous pardon by President Biden to correct the 100–year–old injustice of his wrongful conviction, the inspiring and purposeful message of Marcus Garvey can now continue to be taught to the next generation with pride and continue to inspire future generations with true freedom and sovereignty.
Join us on Wednesday, February 26 from 6:00 pm-8:00 pm, Justice For Marcus Garvey: A Way Forward will be held at Howard University School of Law at 2900 Van Ness St NW Wash, DC. In a fireside chat forum, guests will have the exclusive opportunity to hear from Dr. Julius Garvey, M.D., O.J, son of Marcus Garvey, and Howard University Professor of Law, Justin Hansford, Director of the Thurgood Marshall Civil Rights Center, J.D., Georgetown University. Attendees will also hear from key figures who played a pivotal role in securing the posthumous pardon, the first step toward exoneration. They will share powerful insights into this landmark achievement and its significance to the global African community.

The theme for the 2024 Caribbean-American Interfaith Worship Service was Pillars of Peace. Held at People's Congregational United Church of Christ on Sunday, June 30, 2024, the service was a resounding celebration of unity, heritage, and faith, highlighted by the powerful keynote address from Ambassador Shabazz, eldest daughter of Malcolm X and Dr. Betty Shabazz.
Ambassador Shabazz captivated the congregation with her reflections on peace, resilience, and the importance of heritage. She began by emphasizing the significance of inner peace. "People think peace is weakness. It really is about strength," she said.
Her words resonated deeply, as she spoke about the enduring legacy of her father, Malcolm X, and the influence of her Caribbean heritage. "We are responsible for authoring our stories. It is up to us, and we get to correct it. We get to define it, we get to narrate it," she declared, urging the congregation to embrace and preserve their rich cultural narratives.
