This Day in Legal History: Georgia Bans LynchingOn December 20, 1893, Georgia enacted the nation's first anti-lynching law, making lynching a felony punishable by up to four years in prison. The move marked an early, if largely symbolic, legislative response to the epidemic of racial violence that gripped the United States during the late 19th century. While Georgia's statute was groundbreaking, it was neither robustly enforced nor particularly effective at curbing mob violence, particularly against Black Americans. The systemic racism entrenched in law enforcement and the judiciary often allowed perpetrators of lynchings to escape accountability despite the new law.Ida B. Wells-Barnett, a prominent journalist and anti-lynching activist, highlighted the shortcomings of Georgia's legislation in her 1899 pamphlet Lynch Law in Georgia. She chronicled specific cases of mob violence in the state, exposing how the justice system failed to protect victims or prosecute offenders effectively. Wells-Barnett's work underscored the inadequacy of anti-lynching laws that lacked mechanisms for federal oversight or impartial enforcement.The Georgia law represented a small step in acknowledging lynching as a legal and moral wrong, but its impact was limited by the pervasive culture of white supremacy. Over the following decades, activists like Wells-Barnett continued to advocate for stronger federal anti-lynching measures, culminating in legislation like the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, signed into law in 2022. The 1893 Georgia statute remains a pivotal, though imperfect, historical moment in the struggle for racial justice and the rule of law.Starbucks Workers United, the union representing baristas at over 500 of Starbucks' 10,000 U.S. stores, has announced a five-day strike starting Friday after a breakdown in final-stage bargaining sessions with the company. The strike will initially affect unionized stores in Los Angeles, Chicago, and Seattle, with the union expecting the action to expand to hundreds of stores by Christmas Eve. The dispute centers on the company's failure to offer immediate pay raises for unionized baristas in its latest proposal. This marks the first strike since February, when both sides agreed to resume negotiations, and follows high-profile strikes like last year's Red Cup Day walkout. Starbucks claims the union prematurely ended the bargaining session and states it is ready to continue negotiations, highlighting agreements reached on over 30 worker-focused issues. The company also emphasized its average compensation package of $30 per hour for baristas working at least 20 hours weekly, while reaffirming its commitment to improving the worker experience.Starbucks Union to Strike Friday in LA, Chicago, Seattle (2)The U.S. government faces an impending shutdown as a Republican-backed funding proposal failed in the House, exposing deep divisions within the GOP. President-elect Donald Trump opposed a bipartisan funding deal, demanding debt ceiling changes, but his alternative plan failed to unify his party. Thirty-eight Republican lawmakers joined Democrats to reject the measure, highlighting challenges in advancing Trump's agenda despite Republican control of Congress and the presidency.House Speaker Mike Johnson, struggling to manage the crisis, vowed to propose a new solution but faced mounting criticism. Trump and ally Elon Musk condemned the bipartisan deal and pressured Republicans to hold firm, complicating efforts to pass even a stopgap measure. The shutdown threat could furlough federal workers and disrupt essential services during the holiday season.The discord underscored the GOP's internal fractures and Trump's polarizing influence as he pushes aggressive policy demands. While Trump framed the impasse as a fight against excessive government spending, Democrats criticized his demands as political maneuvers to advance tax cuts and other priorities. With the midnight deadline looming, no resolution was in sight, leaving federal agencies and workers bracing for a shutdown.Trump-Backed US Funding Plan's Failure Showcases GOP FissuresNine Palestinian Americans have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government, accusing it of failing to evacuate them and their families from Gaza amid ongoing conflict and a severe humanitarian crisis. The plaintiffs allege discrimination by the State Department, claiming it neglected to offer the same evacuation efforts typically extended to Americans in other conflict zones, such as Afghanistan, Lebanon, and Sudan. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois, names President Joe Biden, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin as defendants.The lawsuit, supported by the Council on American-Islamic Relations and attorney Maria Kari, argues the U.S. violated the plaintiffs' constitutional right to equal protection. A State Department spokesperson declined to comment on the litigation but emphasized that ensuring the safety of U.S. citizens is a priority and noted prior evacuation efforts from Gaza.The conflict, which escalated after Hamas' October 2023 attack on Israel, has led to over 45,000 deaths in Gaza and displaced nearly all of its 2.3 million residents. Plaintiffs argue that the U.S. has failed to adequately address the safety of Palestinian Americans amid accusations of war crimes and genocide in the ongoing violence.Lawsuit alleges U.S. failed to evacuate Palestinian Americans trapped in Gaza | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Béla Bartók.Our closing theme for this week is String Quartet No. 2, Op. 17 (Sz. 67) by the Hungarian composer Béla Bartók, a towering figure in 20th-century music. Born in 1881, Bartók was not only a celebrated composer but also a pioneering ethnomusicologist, deeply committed to collecting and incorporating the folk music traditions of Eastern Europe into his compositions. His work often fuses the rhythmic vitality and modal scales of these traditions with innovative harmonic language and formal structures, making him one of the most distinctive voices of his time.Composed between 1915 and 1917, Bartók's String Quartet No. 2 reflects both personal and historical turmoil. The piece emerged during World War I, a period of great upheaval, which undoubtedly shaped its emotional intensity. This three-movement work alternates between lyrical introspection and passionate turbulence, mirroring Bartók's exploration of the tension between Western classical forms and the folk influences he revered.The opening movement (Moderato) is contemplative and almost nostalgic, its long, flowing melodies underscored by a subtle tension. The second movement (Allegro molto capriccioso) bursts forth with ferocious energy, driven by dance-like rhythms and aggressive interplay between the instruments. Finally, the third movement (Lento) brings a return to introspection, its sparse and haunting textures evoking a sense of profound melancholy.Bartók's String Quartet No. 2 is both challenging and rewarding, offering a glimpse into the mind of a composer navigating a complex emotional and cultural landscape. Its raw expressiveness and structural ingenuity make it a fitting conclusion to our week, capturing both the struggles and the beauty of human creativity.Without further ado, Béla Bartók's String Quartet No. 2, Op. 17 - enjoy!

Emmett Till's lynching is credited as the spark that set off the Civil Rights Movement. In 1955, the 14-year-old boy was visiting family in Mississippi when he was kidnapped and murdered for whistling at a white woman. Days later his bloated body was dragged out of the Tallahatchie River and sent home to his mother, Mamie Till Mobley, in Chicago. When pictures of his mutilated face were published around the country, it shocked the national consciousness, bringing people off the sidelines and into the fight to recognize Black Americans' basic humanity.Congress first considered antilynching legislation at the turn of the twentieth century. On January 20th, 1900, Representative George Henry White of North Carolina, the only Black member of Congress at the time, introduced a bill that would have subjected people involved in mob violence to the potential of capital punishment. Since then, antilynching legislation has been introduced in Congress more than 200 times. It had failed every time. That changed last week. At the end of March, President Biden signed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act into law, making lynching a federal hate crime. Present at the ceremony was Emmett Till's cousin, Rev. Wheeler Parker. Rev. Parker travelled from Chicago to Mississippi with Emmett Till in 1955, and he is the last living relative to have witnessed the boy's kidnapping. This week on Into America, he shares his story.For a transcript, please visit msnbc.com/intoamerica. Follow and share the show on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, all with the handle @intoamericapod.Thoughts?

Joe Madison schools his audience about the need for the Emmett Till Antilynching Act, the morning after attending President Biden's ceremony to finally make lynching a federal hate crime.

Maybe my distrust to the government is irrational, but allow me to express why I think this is political pandering and emotional manipulation from the democratic party of President Joe Biden.

3.29.2022 #RolandMartinUnfiltered: Felons voting in NC; UNCF to launch charter schools, Suing BLM Activist, Biden Signs Anti-Lynching Law With the stroke of a pen, President Joe Biden signed the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act into law, making lynching a federal hate crime.   The United Negro College Fund is getting a financial boost from Mike Bloomberg, founder of Bloomberg Philanthropies, to help start new public charter schools and recruit substantially more Black teachers and principals to work in them. We'll have UNCF's  Vice President, Advocacy and Student Professional Development Programs here to explain. In North Carolina, in a split decision, a three-judge panel rules felons can vote in N.C. once they leave prison. We'll discuss this groundbreaking decision with a North Carolina lawmaker, a voting rights reporter, and an attorney who is on the front lines as a defender of voting rights. The Louisiana Supreme Court says BLM activist, Deray McKesson, can be sued by a police officer who was injured during a 2016 protest. He'll join us to talk about that decision.

Through a one-person play, North Carolina actor and playwright Mike Wiley has taken the story of Emmett Till across the world. Now, his play carries an even deeper resonance in the wake of the recent Emmett Till Antilynching Act.

There is so much in need of healing in our world. When we pay attention and notice what is all around us it can be disheartening and overwhelming. In the midst of the seeming darkness there are always warriors of light bringing their vision and fortitude in times of challenge and adversity.   That capacity to anchor vision and move with strength and fortitude is what moves us forward, personally and collectively. This true grit is our capacity to persevere with passion even in the face of overwhelming odds. We see this in the Ukrainian people. We are seeing this much closer to home with the long overdue passing of the Emmett Till Antilynching Act. The road to pass this bill was long and arduous, and it has finally happened due to the grit and determination of so many people over many, many years.   This talk was recorded live at Unity In Marin on March 13th, 2022   Learn more about Unity In Marin at: https://unityinmarin.org/ Watch Unity In Marin content: https://www.youtube.com/c/UnityinMarinOfficial

Last week, the Senate passed federal anti-lynching legislation, called the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act, through unanimous consent.

On this episode of BAF, the cast discuss Supreme Court reinstated death penalty for Boston Marathon Bomber, Brittany Griner being detained in Russia over drug charges, DL Hughley's thoughts on Kanye West and the House of Representatives passing Emmett Till Antilynching Act: making lynching a federal hate crime. Cast - Cassie, KP, Casey Reanna, Chef Producer - Jess Braziel

This week, the Senate unanimously passed legislation that would make lynching a federal hate crime. It was a historic moment. Congress has tried and failed to pass antilynching legislation more than 200 times over the course of more than a century. The Emmett Till Antilynching Act is named for a 14-year-old boy whose murder 67 years ago shocked the nation. Till had traveled from Chicago to the Mississippi Delta to visit family when he was kidnapped, horribly beaten, and killed by white men after allegedly flirting with a white woman. His body was later found in the Tallahatchie river. Today, Emmett Till's death is considered the spark that ignited the burgeoning Civil Rights Movement. But few people know about another brazen murder of a Black man that happened just three months later, in a neighboring town in the Delta. Today on the Radio Diaries Podcast, we tell the forgotten story of Clinton Melton. This episode first aired on NPR in 2020.

It took 65 years and more than 200 attempts over the last century to get the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act passed into law. Even so, it's no total victory, as the battle for justice in this and other cases continues.  Are we beyond the two-party political system?  Add your voice and views to the discussion.

Holyoke Media, en asociación con WHMP radio, emiten diariamente la Síntesis informativa en español a través del 101.5 FM y en el 1240 / 1400 AM. Esta es la síntesis informativa del miércoles 9 de marzo de 2022: - Golpeando más fuerte a la economía de Rusia, el presidente Joe Biden ordenó el martes la prohibición de las importaciones de petróleo ruso en represalia por el ataque de Vladimir Putin en Ucrania. La importante acción comercial, en respuesta a las súplicas del asediado líder de Ucrania, empujó a Estados Unidos al frente mientras las naciones occidentales buscan detener la invasión de Putin. Los estadounidenses también sentirán dolor, en la bomba de gasolina, reconoció Biden, declarando: “Defender la libertad va a costar”. Las importaciones han sido una omisión flagrante en las sanciones masivas impuestas a Rusia por la invasión. Las exportaciones de energía han mantenido un flujo constante de efectivo hacia Rusia a pesar de las severas restricciones en su sector financiero. Biden dijo que Estados Unidos estaba actuando en estrecha consulta con los aliados europeos, que dependen más de los suministros de energía rusos y que reconoció que es posible que no puedan unirse de inmediato. El anuncio marcó el último intento de Biden de aislar a Rusia de gran parte de la economía mundial y garantizar que la invasión de Ucrania sea una pérdida estratégica para Putin, incluso si logra apoderarse del territorio. “Ucrania nunca será una victoria para Putin”, dijo Biden. El presidente de Ucrania, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, elogió en un tuit la acción de Biden: “Agradecido por el liderazgo personal de EE. UU. y @POTUS al atacar el corazón de la maquinaria de guerra de Putin y prohibir el petróleo, el gas y el carbón en el mercado estadounidense. Anime a otros países y líderes a seguir”. FUENTE: AP - El Senado aprobó por unanimidad el lunes un proyecto de ley que tipifica como delito el linchamiento y lo castiga con hasta 30 años de prisión. Navegó a través de la Cámara de Representantes el mes pasado y se espera que el presidente Biden lo firme. Si bien esta vez pasó por ambas cámaras del Congreso prácticamente sin oposición, el camino hacia la aprobación tomó más de 100 años y 200 intentos fallidos. Según el proyecto de ley, llamado Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act en honor al niño de 14 años de Chicago que fue linchado mientras visitaba a su familia en Mississippi, un delito puede ser procesado como linchamiento cuando un delito de odio resulta en una muerte o lesiones, dijo el representante Bobby Rush, D-Ill., patrocinador de la legislación desde hace mucho tiempo. El consentimiento unánime en el Senado permite que se apruebe un proyecto de ley sin pasar lista, siempre que no haya un senador presente para objetar. El Congreso no logró aprobar legislación durante más de un siglo. La aprobación del proyecto de ley marca un logro que define la carrera de Rush, quien ha representado a un distrito del área de Chicago desde 1993. Anunció en enero que se retirará al final de este Congreso. Antes de la política, fue un activista de derechos civiles durante mucho tiempo. El lunes, dijo que esperaba "que el presidente Biden promulgue la Ley contra los linchamientos de Emmett Till muy, muy pronto". FUENTE: WBUR, NPR

International negotiators seek diplomatic off-ramps to end Russia's assault on Ukraine. The cost of filling up soars, as Washington debates sanctions on Russian oil. And after more than a century of failed attempts, Congress passes the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act.

It has taken more than 100 years and 200 tries for congress to pass a bill that would make lynching a federal hate crime. But, on Monday, the Emmett Till Antilynching Act passed the Senate unanimously. We heard from Reverend Wheeler Parker, Emmett Till's cousin, and Alvin Tillery, an associate professor at Northwestern University, about why this bill took a century to pass and what it means for racial justice activists. GUEST: Professor Alvin Tillery, Director of the Center for the Study of Diversity and Democracy; and Associate Professor of Political Science and African American Studies, GUEST: Rev. Wheeler Parker, cousin and last witness to Emmett Till

In this special episode, Joe Madison reaches into the archive to share his very first call for a federal Antilynching law, on May 2, 2018. Nearly four years later, Congress has finally passed the Emmett Till Antilynching Act.

Warning: there is some graphic content in this episode. The Emmett Till Antilynching Act introduced into the House of Representatives by Rep. Bobby Rush will finally state Lynching is a federal hate crime offense. Why is this law important to understand you might ask? It's important and relevant because America still has white supremacists in our country today. For example the killings of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd can be considered a modern day lynching in recent times. American society somehow got away with the Charlottesville, Virginia violence that took place in August 2018. Yet in our society we still have not learned from our past racial and biased mistakes. I, as an american hope we can truly move beyond our horrible past of civil rights violations and lynchings we as a society have committed in America. We need to have more and more conversations with others who are not of the same race/ethnicity. These conversations should lead us out of terrible white supremacy and societal situation we are still in today. This is not a typical political podcast episode. Though, this is an important racial and societal topic we need to come together and talk together willingly about it. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/nrodyunknown/message

While Dr. Venus is very clear that the federal holiday of Juneteenth is a symbolic victory, she feels it has no direct impact on the quality of life of Black people. Knowing that, why are Black People, but specifically Black Women, SO ok with accepting so very very little? Why are we so okay with accepting scraps that we are thankful that White people or the government or Senate would give us a holiday to BBQ, but not pass the laws that would stop the police from killing us?   Dr. Venus has MANY followers who are thankful for Juneteenth becoming a Federal Holiday, and has received numerous comments on her platforms chiding her for not being grateful for this step in the “right direction.” In this episode, she passionately explains the historical wound behind why we want approval, and why she isn't celebrating just yet.   Warning: This is a rant. Dr. Venus goes ALL THE WAY in on this one. It's real, raw, and unapologetic. If you are easily offended, you are advised to NOT watch this video. You have been warned.   Key Takeaways: [2:30] Dr. Venus makes it clear that she is proud of us for Juneteenth and this is NOT a slam. She is thankful for recognition but dissatisfied with the lack of true change. While it may be a step in the right direction, we have been stepping for 400 years. [3:44] We may feel that White validation equals something, but in fact, it has given us nothing. They make money off our pain, and Juneteenth will be no different. They will capitalize on it and monetize it, all the while trying to pass it off as a holiday. But we can't talk about the Tulsa Race Riots or Critical Race Theory in schools, and many of the people celebrating Juneteenth don't even know what or why they are celebrating. [6:40] You need to be aware when they are pulling your strings. If we are so excited about a day off and symbolic gestures, then they can say “we gave you Juneteenth, what more do you want?” What Dr. Venus wants is real change, including police reform as one example. Dr. Venus isn't even mad at White people doing what is in their self-interest anymore. She thinks of it as an occupational hazard. What we aren't going to do is pretend it's a good thing when it didn't do anything we currently requested. [9:33] Our acceptance and gratitude are signals and signs to them that we are not to be taken seriously when they can buy us off with a BBQ or a parade. They will commercialize and monetize our pain, and our ancestors worked too hard and sacrificed too much to let that happen. [12:54] You are powerful and when you settle for crumbs you literally are not standing for your power. [13:24] Dr. Venus feels livid because if we can't talk about oppression, slavery, and Critical Race Theory in public schools — why are we celebrating? Black people have been so indoctrinated that White is right that our validation comes from thinking their approval and inclusion actually means something. [15:37] Until you get that fire in your belly, you will be used. Your voice matters, your vote matters, and that is the truth. [20:01] More Black Men can see that it's about business. Black Men, say it in love to your sisters and don't hurt their feelings and pride. Until we build our own infrastructure, we will continue looking for approval and trading our hours for dollars for what we do rather than what we know. That is one of the changes Dr. Venus will be creating with her tech startup.   Quotes: “We are worth more. It may feel like a victory, but it's false.” “When you settle for crumbs, you literally are not standing for your power.” “It is a signal and sign to them that we are not to be taken seriously when they can buy us off with a BBQ or a parade.” “Until you get to that fire in your belly that you are not going to be used, taken advantage of, you will be used.” “Until you stand up, you will fall for anything.” “Show me the money, don't talk to me about a cookout.”   Mentioned: Dr. Venus Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram  “Hot Mess Millionaire” Amazon Pilot  ”Hot Mess Millionaire” Complete Series (https://www.youtube.com/c/DrVenusOpalReese) Join the conversation!

A discussion of the tyranny under which we now live, combined with thoughts on what to do about it, primarily through the lens of analyzing the CDC's orders on evictions and masks, along with the proposed Emmett Till Antilynching Act. (The written version of this analysis can be found here.)

Joe Madison talks on  a need for a truth and reconciliation commission for today's world, including the military, and also his push for the immediate passage of the Emmett Till Anti-Lynching Act. 

In his new book Unexampled Courage: The Blinding of Sgt. Isaac Woodard and the Awakening of President Harry S. Truman and Judge J. Waties Waring (Sarah Crichton Books, 2019), District Judge Richard M. Gergel asks pertinent questions for the Summer of 2020. How do tragic events awaken white people to the violence of structural racism? What do white people do about it? How do black leaders shape their agendas? Unexampled Courage connects the stories of Isaac Woodard, Harry Truman, and J. Waties Waring to illustrate how one incident fits into the larger history of civil rights. On February 12, 1946, Sergeant Isaac Woodard was discharged from the United States military after serving in World War II. While traveling home by bus, Woodard, one of the 900,000 African American men to serve in WWII, was pulled off the bus and arrested for speaking disrespectfully to the white bus driver. While in the custody of police in Batesburg, South Carolina, Sergeant Woodard was beaten and blinded. Viewed in isolation, the blinding of Isaac Woodard appears to be one of many incidents of police brutality against African Americans but Gergel describes how this particular case – publicized widely by the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the black press, and Orson Welles – reached President Harry Truman and set off a chain of events impacting 20th century American civil rights. In this extensively researched book, Gergel details how the mistreatment of Isaac Woodard shocked President Truman into creating a presidential commission on civil rights “To Secure These Rights” and ordering the Justice Department to prosecute Lynwood Shull, the chief of police in Batesburg. Shull was tried in South Carolina with Judge J. Waties Waring presiding – and found not guilty by an all-white jury. The verdict surprised and outraged Judge Waring who moved to confront racism – his own and that of the institutions that he supported. Moving forward, he ruled against racial segregation in Briggs v. Elliott (1952) and his decision helped lay the foundation for Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka (1954) and the legal precedent that separate but equal is “inherently unequal.” The book highlights how black Americans who fought for civil rights risked their livelihood, bodies, and lives while whites like Truman and Waring negotiated social disapproval, political backlash, and – sometimes – violence. Although the focus is on the white men who “awaken,” he demonstrates the importance of Thurgood Marshall and the NAACP leadership in addressing how institutional inconsistencies (e.g. Department of Justice, FBI, jury procedures, racist law enforcement) produced a bystander government. In the podcast, Judge Gergel connects this mid-century civil rights history to the death of George Floyd, the inability of Congress to pass the Emmett Till Antilynching Act in June 2020, and the challenges of legal reform that remain. He also reveals that the book will be the subject of a public television documentary. Adam Liebell-McLean assisted with this podcast.

In his new book Unexampled Courage: The Blinding of Sgt. Isaac Woodard and the Awakening of President Harry S. Truman and Judge J. Waties Waring (Sarah Crichton Books, 2019), District Judge Richard M. Gergel asks pertinent questions for the Summer of 2020. How do tragic events awaken white people to the violence of structural racism? What do white people do about it? How do black leaders shape their agendas? Unexampled Courage connects the stories of Isaac Woodard, Harry Truman, and J. Waties Waring to illustrate how one incident fits into the larger history of civil rights. On February 12, 1946, Sergeant Isaac Woodard was discharged from the United States military after serving in World War II. While traveling home by bus, Woodard, one of the 900,000 African American men to serve in WWII, was pulled off the bus and arrested for speaking disrespectfully to the white bus driver.

**note** had a little sound issue in the first 30 - 45 seconds. This episode of Faithful Politics we are doing a real life show, socially distanced of course, with a friend of the show Phil McKinney. On the show we talk about the call to defund the police, and how conceptually it seems like a good idea, but the messaging and slogan might be a barrier. Pastor Josh also digs a little deeper into how the church can be a force for good during these dark times. Phil offers some fresh perspective to old ideas, and keeps the conversation humorous and light with his quips and hot takes! Sources referenced on the podcast:Black Lives Matter: https://blacklivesmatter.comJames Forman, Jr.: https://www.jamesformanjr.comCompeting bills in Congress: https://www.politico.com/newsletters/huddle/2020/06/12/congresss-competing-police-reform-bills-489510H.R.35 - Emmett Till Antilynching Act - https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/house-bill/35/textFor more information about the podcasts or our hosts, please visit our website @ www.FaithfulPoliticsPodcast.com.
