Presentation transcript:

Nearly 3,500 African Americans and 1,300 whites were lynched in the United States between 1882 and 1968, mostly from 1882 to 1920.

The largest mass lynching in American history involved the lynching of eleven Italian immigrants in New Orleans, in 1891.

During the Antebellum, assertive African Americans and Latinos in the South West were the object of racial lynching.

Lynching increased dramatically in the aftermath of the Civil War, after slavery had been abolished and recently freed black men gained the right to vote.

The Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill was first introduced to United States Congress in 1918 by Republican Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri. The bill was passed by the United States House of Representatives in 1922.

Passage of the Dyer Bill was blocked by white Democratic senators from the South The Dyer Bill later influenced anti-lynching legislation, including the Costigan Wagner Bill, both blocked by Senator William Borah.

Roosevelt was also concerned about a provision of the Costigan-Wagner bill that called for the punishment of sheriffs who failed to protect their prisoners from lynch mobs. He believed political support of the white voters in the South would be lost by approving the bill and lose the 1936 presidential election. Excerpt from the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress Major Political Detail:
