(V):Related, but not relevant.
In 1935 there was proposed legislation to criminalize lynching in the US and Roosevelt refused to give his approval to the bill even after a young man, Rubin Stacy, was lynched. Even as recently as 1981, Michael Donald was lynched in Alabama. He was lynched for allegedly murdering a policeman (he had been aquitted). Turns out he was innocent. But even then, some whites hated blacks so much that even an accusation against a black was deserving of death. Sad. The Michael Donald case hasd an interesting twist. Donald's mother sued the KKK for their complicity in her son's hanging. An all white jury found the KKK responsible and they were ordered to pay 7 million dollars. Sweet justice too as they had to hand over all their assets including their national headquarters in Tuscaloosa.
