Anti-Lynching+Movement

**__N.A.A.C.P. __ N.A.A.C.P was founded on February 12th 1909, byW.E.B. DuBois, Ida Wells-Barnett, Henry Moscowitz, Oswald Garrison Villiard, Mary White Ovington, and William English Walling. It stands for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Its formation was an effect of the Race Riots of 1908 in Springfield and the lynching epidemic. Its mission is​ "to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate racial hatred and racial discrimination". The association had over half a million members, most of them were advocates for civil rights in their communities.

__ Speech for Anti-Lynching Movement __ I would like to present Congress with the proposition of ending lyncning. This is an epidemic that is spreadly very rapidly. This act is inhmane and violates the Constitution. Colored people need to be treated equally and not looked down upon. If we put an end to lynching there would be a great decline in racial discrimination and hatred. As Americans we need to unite together as a whole. Racial discrimination is a large barrior towards achieving the goal to become united. There is no justification for the act of taking another person’s life.**
