In the 1930s, there were approximately 200 recorded lynchings in the United States, with the majority of victims being African American men. The practice was a brutal form of racial violence that was often publicly tolerated and sometimes even condoned by local authorities. The peak years for lynching during this decade were particularly concentrated in the Southern states, reflecting the pervasive racism and social tensions of the time. Efforts to combat lynching began to gain momentum in this era, leading to increased awareness and advocacy for civil rights.
