“The First Amendment and Fourteenth Amendment rights in the United States Constitution were being violated in Albany again and again - freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, the equal protection of the laws - I could count at least 30 such violations.

“Every lynching deprives its victim of his life without due process of law, and denies him an equal protection of the law. The States are charged with punishing all such invasions as the common rights of the citizens, but some of them have failed in their effort to do so, and others have not honestly tried. Meanwhile, lynchings continue, and though they do not increase in number, they show some tendency to increase in savagery.” StatesShowsLawProcessCommonNumbersEffortRightsCitizensEqualIncreaseVictimDenyProtectionDuesHonestlyTendenciesInvasionSavageryLynchingDue ProcessEqual ProtectionDue Process Of Law Author:H.
