WHITE WOMEN DENOUNCE LYNCHING
General Committee On Inter Racial Co-operation Passes Resolution White women of the South, according to a report forwarded from the Inter-racial Committee, by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, are uniting in a war to end the "Shame of America." Resolutions passed by the Woman's General Committee, Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation at Asheville, N. C., deplore the failure of state governments to meet the evil of lynching, pledge the women to create a sentiment for the enactment and enforcement of suitable laws to end elynching, and provide for an extension of this work throulhout the South.
The resolutions declare that "Lynching, at one time practiced only as punishment by the mob for the violation of womanhood, is now resorted to even for robbery, petty crime, or no crime." They further assert that mobs are "the greatest of law violators" and that "we, the Woman's Committee of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation, are overwhelmed with a deep sense of humiliation that this hideous crime (of lynching) is heralded abroad as the only means available to men for the protection of womanhood."
