Getting Away with Murder

The Twentieth-Century Struggle for Civil Rights in the U.S. Senate

Beschreibung

During the early twentieth century, nearly 200 anti-lynching proposals were introduced in the United States Congress. Getting Away with Murder argues that constitutional defenses for these proposals were merely excuses for Southern Democrats' racist attitudes toward black Americans and for giving private citizens a license to murder.
