Lynching is the practice of murder by a group of people by extrajudicial action. Lynchings in the United States rose in number after the American Civil War in the late 19th century, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s.

We think of lynching as hanging only, but any targeted killing of our people, namely so called blacks, hispanics, native americans etc is a modern day lynching. We will discuss how the El Paso Massacre and other hate crimes are modern day lynchings.
