US President Joe Biden signed the first federal anti private criminal law in US history on the 29th, and lynching was listed as a hate crime in federal law for the first time. Biden said at the signing ceremony at the White House that hundreds of draft anti private criminal laws have died in Congress for hundreds of years, and lynching is a manifestation of the racial problem in the United States. In the United States, hate crimes refer to crimes against a group, driven by discrimination or prejudice, and many victims come from ethnic minorities. Previously, lynching was not listed as a hate crime in the federal law involving hate crimes in the United States. The bill Biden signed on the same day is called "Emmett thier anti private criminal law". Under this federal law, people accused of lynching face up to 30 years in prison. In 1952, a 14-year-old white man from Mississippi was brutally lynched. The perpetrator was later acquitted by an all white jury, causing public anger and demonstrations. Research from Tuskegee University in Alabama shows that at least 4743 people in the United States were lynched from 1882 to 1968, of which 3446 were African Americans. (Xinhua News Agency)
