BREAKING NEWS: President Joe Biden has signed anti-lynching legislation named after Emmett Till. The bill makes lynching a federal hate crime for the first time in U.S. history.
Emmett Till
For the first time, lynching will be designated as a federal hate crime under the legislation named after Till. "That's a lot of folks, man, and a lot of silence for a long time. Lynching was pure terror to enforce the lie that not everyone belongs in America, not everyone is created equal. Terror to systematically undermine hard-fought civil rights. Terror, not just in the middle of the night, but in broad daylight," Biden said.
The House passed the legislation by a vote of 422-3 on Feb. 28, and the Senate passed the bill unanimously on March 7.
