(Organization) The Fight Against Lynching Anti-Lynching Work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the Year Nineteen Eighteen The Fight Against Lynching Anti-Lynching Work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People for the Year 1918 E-text prepared by David Edwards, Keith Edkins, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) from page images generously made available by Villanova University Digital Library (http://digital.library.villanova.edu) "The Fight Against Lynching," authored by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and reprinted from their Ninth Annual Report in 1919, is a historical account focusing on the issue of lynching in the United States during the early 20th century. The book addresses the widespread violence against Black individuals, detailing the alarming statistics associated with lynchings from 1885 to 1918, emphasizing the disproportionate impact on the African American community. The work is an essential part of the anti-lynching campaign led by the NAACP, reflecting their commitment to civil rights and social justice. The book outlines the extensive anti-lynching efforts undertaken by the NAACP in 1918, documenting specific cases of lynching, such as the horrifying events in Brooks and Lowndes Counties, Georgia, as well as broader statistics on the nature and frequency of these acts of mob violence. It discusses the association's initiatives for investigation, legal reform, and public awareness campaigns aimed at curbing such injustices. The text vehemently critiques the failure of law enforcement to protect the rights of Black citizens and highlights calls for collective community action to end this brutal practice, ultimately appealing to the moral conscience of America to foster change and ensure justice for all.
