I wonder why they are so concerned about lynching - now…
US senators introduce bill to make lynching a federal hate crime
The only three black US senators have introduced a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime.
"It's a travesty that despite repeated attempts to do so, Congress still hasn't put anti-lynching legislation on the books," Sen. Corey Booker, a New Jersey Democrat, said in a statement. "This bill will right historical wrongs by acknowledging our country's stained past and codifying into law our commitment to abolishing this shameful practice."
Booker teamed up with Democrat Kamala Harris of California and South Carolina Republican Tim Scott to introduce the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act of 2018 on Friday.
