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.
