Descendants and Estates of Charles Greenlee, Walter Irvin, Samuel Shepherd, and Ernest Thomas

Summary

The bill would allocate money from the General Revenue Fund to the Department of State to provide compensation to the descendants of Charles Greenlee, Walter Irvin, Samuel Shepherd, and Ernest Thomas, who were victims of a historic miscarriage of justice. It also declares the factual background of the case to be true and bars any further compensation for those who receive this payment. The measure aims to address lingering civil‑rights harms from the 1949 Groveland incident.
