Original Justice for living survivors of the 1921 Tulsa/Greenwood Race Massacre Act

Financial Compensation for Survivors: The bill mandates the payment of $10,398,368 in compensatory damages and $10,398,368 in punitive damages to each surviving victim of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre alive as of May 1, 2025 (Section 3(a)). This serves to compensate for harm sustained due to the Federal Government's failure to prevent, investigate, prosecute, or litigate the massacre (Section 3(b)).

Support for Estates: In the event that a surviving victim dies before the payment is made, the funds are to be paid to their estate (Section 3(a)).

Simplified Certification Process: The Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights can certify payments using only a birth certificate as proof of identity and is prohibited from requiring any additional information from the individual (Section 3(c)).

Limitation of Future Claims: Once the payments are made, the payments serve as full satisfaction of all claims a living survivor may have against the United States for the harms described in the act (Section 4).

Ineligibility for Further Benefits: Upon receiving these payments, a living survivor is no longer eligible for any additional compensation or benefits from the Federal Government for the harms described in the section (Section 5).
