Make shooting an unarmed person especially a child a federal crime
Here’s the truth: Lynching is not already a federal hate crime. Senators Booker, Scott, and I are trying to change that with the Justice for Victims of Lynching Act.

Common sense gun laws. It shouldn't be this difficult.

My great-grandmother
#IdaBWells spent her life documenting and exposing the truth about lynching. She will finally have a monument in#Chicago. http://www.idabwellsmonument.org -
Super cool Michelle!

I wish you luck in your effort. Though I doubt enough white Americans are ready to face our history. But we have to keep on shining a light no matter how dark it gets. These words on the Memorial in Montgomery, Alabama speak truth. All lives will matter when

Back in the 50's, Paul Robeson & Albert Einstein tried to get President Truman to publicly denounce lynching & to make it a federal crime. They didn't get very far. It's been a long time coming. Please. Make it happen.

How absolutely absurd. How is this not already a federal hate crime.

It's not against the law because it doesn't happen anymore and it hasn't happened for a long time.

How many lynchings have occurred in the 21st Century? Why are you not focusing on CHICAGO - where killings are out of control. DO something that actually solves a problem.
