To direct the Secretary of the Army to carry out without delay a thorough review of the cases of all 28 individuals convicted in the court-martial arising from a disturbance at Fort Lawton, Seattle, Washington, on August 14, 1944, and to require the Secretary to correct the military records (including the record of the court-martial in such case) of any individual as necessary to rectify error or injustice.

This bill requires the Secretary of the Army to conduct a comprehensive review of the 1944 court-martial convictions of 28 African American soldiers following a riot at Fort Lawton in Seattle, Washington. The review is intended to determine if racial prejudice or investigative flaws influenced the original trials, which resulted in the largest mass court-martial of World War II.

If the review finds evidence of error or injustice, the bill mandates that the Army formally correct the military records of the individuals involved. For the families and descendants of these soldiers, this legislation provides a legal mechanism to potentially overturn decades-old convictions, restore military honors, and clear the names of those who may have been wrongfully prosecuted.
