A posthumous pardon is like a posthumous conviction the person concerned does not care.
Maybe not, but his family cares, and that is reason enough to do it!
The family cares. Bring them to the White House and the optics will be great. Trump will point out that we are beyond the laws of the Dems who wanted to keep races separate and didn’t want a black man to be involved with a white woman. It is chance to tell the history of the real racist party -— the one that refused to register Condoleeza Rice, which the GOP was happy to do. The one that started the KKK. I see this pardon as a winner. Obama didn’t do it. Trump did it. Race baiters can STFU.
True but it means a lot to the surviving family members......
You don’t know that for sure.
