HRES655119th Congress

Expressing support for the designation of August 17, 2025, as "Marcus Garvey Recognition Day".

Sponsored By: Representative Clarke, Yvette D. [D-NY-9]

Introduced

Summary

Designating August 17, 2025 as Marcus Garvey Recognition Day would formally honor Marcus Garvey’s role as a leader of a mass Black movement and ask the President to issue a proclamation calling for appropriate ceremonies. The resolution highlights Garvey’s leadership of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, which attracted more than 1,500,000 members, his Black Star Line effort to promote economic independence, and his emphasis on entrepreneurship and political self-help. It also notes his 2025 posthumous Presidential pardon and says it is fitting to recognize his contributions to Black history.
