The first federal antilynching legislation was introduced in 1900—almost 120 years ago—by Congressman George Henry White, the only African American Member of Congress at that time. Unfortunately, neither his bill, nor any other antilynching bills have managed to pass Congress. — PolitiTweet.org

Rep. Nadler @RepJerryNadler

We now have the opportunity to change that. In the name of all the victims of lynching throughout our history, I urge my colleagues once again to support this important legislation and join me in demanding national accountability for racial violence. — PolitiTweet.org
