Maryland Gov. Wes Moore (D) will be issuing a mass pardon for more than 175,000 marijuana convictions Monday.

The pardons will be one of the country’s biggest acts of clemency involving the drug that’s now widely used recreationally.

The pardons fall on the same week as Juneteenth celebrations across the country, which symbolizes the end of slavery. Moore is the only Black governor of a U.S. state.

In an interview with The Washington Post, Moore said it will be a step to heal decades of social and economic injustice that disproportionately harmed people of color. Will other States follow the course?
