Octavius C. Granady (March 1, 1885 - April 10, 1928) was an African American lawyer and politician, World War I veteran, and Afro-Caribbean civil rights activist for the Virgin Islands. After years of advocating for fair treatment of Virgin Islanders, he moved to the United States, where he stood as a reform candidate for committeeman in the "Bloody" Twentieth Ward of Chicago in 1928. The car chase and machine gun assassination of Granady by gangster Al Capone's men, on the day of the infamous so-called "Pineapple Primary", made national headlines. Public disapproval of the violence was followed by crushing political losses for the opposing slate supported by Capone's ally Chicago Mayor William Hale ("Big Bill") Thompson.
