Previous committee hearing on massacre was 14 years ago
A hearing by the subcommittee in 2007 accompanied legislation that would have allowed victims to pursue legal claims in federal court despite court rulings that claims were barred by the statute of limitations.
That legislation was never approved. Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Calif., a member of the subcommittee, said Wednesday that he will introduce similar legislation this week creating a path to seek damages for the death and destruction that occurred on May 31 and June 1 in 1921.
“You may have been taught that when something is stolen from you, you can go to the courts to be made whole you can go to the courts for justice,” massacre survivor Hughes Van Ellis told the subcommittee on Wednesday.
