What is the source that says most lynchings occured in the South? I thought they were just as common in the Midwest. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 168.88.120.4 (talk) 04:45, 11 February 2010 (UTC)

POV

The article implies that lynching was limited to the South. That is not correct. See for example Chicago race riot of 1919. Citations to the text of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Law would be helpful as well.John Paul Parks (talk) 00:44, 27 June 2016 (UTC) A version of the bill (1922) is available on National Endowment for the Humanities EDSITEment! lesson plan although this is transcribed not official Congressional record. rjrest (talk) 05:42, 2 December 2016 (UTC)

Lead section has extra information

I have tagged this article as needing clean-up because the lead section has extra information. See MOS:LEAD for purpose of the lead. It provides an accessible overview of the whole article. Information in the lead should be in the body of the article too. See WP:LEADFOLLOWSBODY. The extra information is that the name of the original bill in the lead - Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill (1918) and its serial number, H.R. 11279, only appear in the lead section. This sort of detail should be in the body of the article. Furthermore, the supporting citation only calls it the Antilynching Bill, omitting Congressman Dyer's name and the year of introduction from the title. There appears to be other sources that do call the bill by the title of the article, so it would be good to cite them and explain how the name came about. - Cameron Dewe (talk) 01:16, 12 June 2024 (UTC)
