Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the necessity to publically exonerate the African-American sailors of the United States Navy who were tried and convicted of mutiny in connection with their service at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Concord, California, during World War II in order to further aid in healing the racial divide that continues to exist in the United States.

the trial and conviction of 50 African-American sailors of the United States Navy for mutiny in connection with their service at the Port Chicago Naval Magazine in Concord, California, during World War II were wrongfully pursued because of racial prejudice, as evidenced by the racial bias in the Navy’s original findings in their cases and the different treatment afforded to the convicted sailors’ White counterparts and officers; and

Congress should publically exonerate the 50 Navy sailors in order to further aid in healing the racial divide that continues to exist in the United States.
