lynchings in American history
Article Surfer
<— Prev    |    Next —>

Here are two pages from a 1922 Congressional Digest that outline the legislation that was standing before Congress at the time - as well as the debate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.

The bill, which was introduced by Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, was intended to make lynching a felony that would have involved a short prison term and a $5,000.00 fine for all guilty participants. The proposed legislation passed the House of Representatives but not the Senate. Congressional debates concerning anti-lynching would be a topic for many years to come, however, the arguments presented against passage of this bill by the Southern Representatives make an interesting read.
