An important step in dealing with the numerous gaps in our history of the Jim Crow era. There were apparently a number of movements that we don't know about today--by accident, I came across some records of the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching--a multi-state organization of middle and upper class white women. There seem to be a few books about the anti-lynching movement, but the lynching strategy was so insidious that I don't think we could have too many (and of course we see the modern heritage of lynching in the backlash against Black Lives Matter).
