Garvey and the UNIA influenced countless Black Freedom activists like Rep. Chisholm, Malcolm X, MLK, the Black Panthers. That's why the FBI targeted him. Biden's pardon of Garvey is a step towards setting the historical record straight. Our full post: chisholmproject.com/2025/news/6155
In this 1970 photo, Rep. Chisholm accepts a petition to designate Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a national holiday. After a hard-fought campaign, it was made official in 1983 and first observed in 1986. Many states resisted recognizing MLK Day until 2000. [📸:NY Daily News].
