"This afternoon, we prepared to send the Emmett Till Antilynching Act to President Biden for his signature. This landmark legislation will designate lynching as a federal hate crime: action that has long been overdue.

Nearly seven decades later, the lynching of Emmett Till is seared into America's collective memory. Tragically, bigoted violence is not yet a relic of the past: from the scourge of police brutality to assaults on houses of worship and more.

Democrats will continue combating hate whenever and wherever it arises -- because it is an attack on our democracy's basic promise of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
