Answer 1

Lynching is not a Federal Crime but Congress is not able to pass this bill into law because it makes lynching a hate crime and stated pernicious and pervasive tool .Mr. Rush said that the importance of bill cannot be overstated but a bill in 2020 cannot protect 1,000 of people who are victims of racist violence decades ago.Tameka Bradley Hobbs, an associate professor of history at Florida Memorial University said that “When it really mattered, and when it really would have had the impact of protecting the lives of black people in this country, there was widespread unwillingness” to pass a bill like this.
