A Worthy Cause

I'm sitting here at work reading book reviews in The Journal of Southern History. I ran across a mention of an organization called The Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching.

Call me naive, but it still blows my mind that something as terrible as lynching had to have a group organized to fight against it as recently as the 1930's. This page lists the group's goals for 1936.
