Also, the LAST known lynching was circa 1925. None later.

Untrue. Though not terribly far off.

One of the problems is definition. Not all murder are lynchings. To my mind lynching implies a semi-public nature of the event, which is more or less the point, to terrify a segment of the community.

Emmett Till was from the mid-50s and is sometimes called a lynching, but it was a secretive crime, not a lynching to my mind.

Then the George Zimmerman trial and the Duke lacrosse charges were a form of lynching.
