President Joe Biden pardoned five activists and public servants Sunday, including a posthumous grant of clemency to Civil Rights leader Marcus Garvey, who mobilized the Black nationalist movement and was convicted of mail fraud in 1923.

Biden also commuted the sentences of two other people who are serving sentences for crimes that they committed in the 1990s that would keep them behind bars for the rest of their lives. The two individuals, whose petitions have overwhelming support from civil rights activists, will be released next month, Biden said.

Biden, who has issued more individual pardons and commutations than any other president, said that the clemency recipients had “demonstrated remorse, rehabilitation and redemption,” and “each made significant contributions to improving their communities.”

Garvey’s posthumous pardon is among the most high profile in the latest round. Civil rights leaders and lawmakers have long called his criminal conviction unjust and argued that he was targeted for his civil rights leadership.

In its announcement, the White House highlighted his contributions, including creating the Black Star Line, the first Black-owned shipping line and method of international travel, and founding the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which celebrated African history and culture.
