In response to Georgia’s egregious immigration law HB 87 I have launched my HB 87 workshop to educate the public and to provide legal advice to individuals who are detained or placed in deportation proceedings. I will be conducting my workshop at no cost to the public. If you know of anyone who has a question or concern about HB 87 tell them to contact my firm at 404-992-6506 or 678-954-5809 or send an email to: sbyars@byarslawgroup.com. I will answer their questions at no cost. In addition to private individuals, I am available to meet with larger groups at churches, businesses, and organizations to discuss HB 87 and the ways in which individuals can assert their rights in the event they are faced with deportation etc.

Exonerate The Right and Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey
“Emancipate yourself from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our mind.” - Marcus Garvey
The statement above reverberates the mantra of self liberation with such absolute instruction that Bob Marley quoted it in Redemption Song. It is a command to seek knowledge of self; to learn collective self dignity; to find purpose and design destiny at a time when the African-diaspora was still referred to as Negro, which is the Spanish word for black. It is the instruction of a prophet, no doubt, a trumpet sound, the sound of an abeng. It is a message that is as relevant today as it was in the 1920's. Read More
The Truth is that Hon M.M. Garvey was the victim of character assisination by J. Edgar
Hoover. Hoover was the face of what history has shown to have been the shameless regime and power structure.
Now one thing The Abeng and My Conscious Pen wants to make perfectly clear is that while I support the cause of Garvey's name being cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, I do not feel we as The People need to be grovelling or making apologies for him. Garvey was a freedom fighter like Sam Sharpe, Cuffy, Zumbi dos Palmares and held as a political prisoner in the same manner as Mandela, Toussaint L'Ouverture, Geronimo. I don't care how others see Marcus, I and I hold him in greatest regards.
If you think there was a miscarriage of justice, please add your name to the online petition to President Barack Obama to clear Marcus Garvey's name of the felony conviction on one count of mail fraud and to restore the "good name of Marcus Garvey."
