Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer declares that Hallelujah, Congress has finally declared lynching a federal crime with the Emmett Till Anti Lynching Act after so long a permanent bitter stain on American history and a century's worth of efforts have now paid off, thousands upon thousands of black Americans were victims of lynch mobs across the country as sworn officers of some states and localities not only ignored but often participated when the atrocities, concluding that no single congressional action can fully erase the injustice inflicted.
