Federal anti lynching bills face Senate fight and history
A Washington piece outlines the long struggle to pass federal anti lynching legislation. It notes 44 lynchings since 1936 and 20 bills offered since 1900, with southern senators often defeating measures in the Senate. It cites the Wagner Morse Hawkes Knowland bills and the Truman committee report urging federal action against lynching.
