https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonidas_C._Dyer

Leonidas Carstarphen Dyer (June 11, 1871 – December 15, 1957) was an American politician, reformer, civil rights activist, and military officer who served 11 terms in the U.S. Congress as a Republican Representative from Missouri from 1911 to 1933. In 1898, enrolling in the U.S. Army as a private, Dyer served notably in the Spanish–American War; and was promoted to Colonel at the war’s end.

Horrified by the race riots in Saint Louis and East Saint Louis in 1917 and the high rate of reported lynchings in the South, in 1918 Dyer was notable for proposing the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. In 1920, the Republican Party supported such legislation in its platform from the National Convention. In January 1922, Dyer’s bill was passed by the House, which approved it by a wide margin due to “insistent countrywide demand”.[2] The bill was defeated by the white Democratic voting bloc of the South in filibusters in the Senate in December 1922, in 1923 and 1924.

(It would be great if the president could send the lynching legislation t back with these and other notes on this history, and get rid of the Thought crimes portion of the law.)
