The 50th Anniversary of the Civil Rights Movement and specifically, H.R. 360-Public Law 113-11, heralds the children who lost their lives in the September 1963 bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Alabama, an incident recognized as a catalyst for the civil rights act and voting rights act.
We question the disparity in compensation for hate crime victims: 9-11, Boston Marathon, Holocaust, etc. Yet these constituents, whose efforts and loss made America a better country have been swept aside.
The solution: divert a small percentage of money from DOJ's Crime Victims Fund (EXISTING MONEY) to begin a secondary fund for hate crime victims from the civil rights struggle, commencing with Sarah Collins and Fate Morris
The Crime Victims Fund holds almost $8BN.
