President Biden issued five more pardons on Sunday in his last full day in office, including political activist and black nationalist Marcus Garvey.
“America is a country built on the promise of second chances,” Biden said in a statement. “As president, I have used my clemency power to make that promise a reality by issuing more individual pardons and commutations than any other president in US history. Today, I am exercising my clemency power to pardon 5 people and commute the sentences of 2 people who have shown remorse, rehabilitation and redemption. All of these clemency recipients have made significant contributions to the betterment of their communities.”
