2016-02-23 Introduced in House Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that:

• the trial and conviction of 50 African-American sailors 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; and
• Congress should publicly exonerate the 50 sailors to further aid in healing the racial divide that continues to exist in the United States.
