On the last day of Black History Month, The U.S. House passed the Emmett Till Anti-lynching Act which will officially make lynching a Federal Hate Crime. Personally, I am surprised this is even a discussion and hasn't already been passed.
Emmett Till was just 14-years-old when he was brutally murdered in 1955. At his funeral, his mother forced the world to reckon with the brutality of American racism.
