Wiki

President Calvin Coolidge repeatedly called for laws to prohibit lynching, calling it a "hideous crime" of which African Americans were "by no means the sole sufferers", but consisted of the "majority of the victims".

However, most Congressional attempts to pass this legislation were filibustered by Southern Democrats

Just sayin'.
