Congressman Donald M. Payne, Jr. @RepDonaldPayne
More than 6,500 Black Americans were lynched between 1865 and 1950. I am proud to support the Emmett Till #AntilynchingAct because it finally makes lynching a federal hate crime. Also, it ensures that the U.S. government will prosecute those who commit this monstrous act. https://t.co/jtWBeEvUQZ — PolitiTweet.org
