Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Jon Ossoffs bipartisan legislation to secure justice for civil rights cold case victims and their families passed the U.S. Senate today.
Sen. Ossoff and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX)s bipartisan Civil Rights Cold Case Investigations Support Act of 2022 will help the Civil Cold Case Review Board investigate unsolved crimes from the Civil Rights era and secure justice for victims and their families.
I rise this afternoon in pursuit of justice for the Black men and Black women abducted, beaten, and killed during the segregation era in the American South, and in retaliation for their participation in the Civil Rights Movement, Sen. Ossoff said in a speech on the Senate floor.
We will demonstrate that the United States will never rest in the pursuit of truth and justice for those who were lynched, abducted, beaten, killed, and assaulted in the segregation era South and during the Civil Rights Movement.
