The Lessons of the NAACP's 1930S Federal Anti-Lynching Campaign
Learning to Lobby: The Lessons of the NAACP’s 1930s Federal Anti-Lynching Campaign Melissa Cooper Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in American Studies University of East Anglia School of Arts, Media, and American Studies May 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT Why the NAACP pursued anti-lynching legislation with such vigour despite a decade of defeat in the Senate is the key research question this thesis considers. In doing so it analyses two aspects of the NAACP’s lobbying efforts during the 1930s: its attempts to push anti-lynching bills through Congress and its efforts to secure presidential endorsement for those bills. New insights on how the NAACP learned to lobby can be gleaned by considering the NAACP, Congress, and the President, as key influences on the anti- lynching campaign. This thesis analyses previously neglected primary source material to shed light on President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s influence on the anti-lynching campaign. Additionally, it interprets the anti-lynching campaign through a theoretical lens. It considers theories of lobbying in Congress, presidential power, and congressional obstruction to contextualise the institutions, politics, and politicians at play in the anti-lynching campaign. Despite no anti-lynching legislation ever being passed, both Congress and the executive branch had a profound effect upon the NAACP’s political education.

Lindbergh flew across the Atlan tic, nonstop, from Roosevelt Field in New York to Le Bourget airfield, near Paris. The flight changed forever life on this planet. The event also changed forever the life of the pilot, Lindbergh. In his twenties he became a world hero. He married the intelligent and, by all accounts, charming daughter of Dwight Morrow, a man who cast his shadow across the national scene. The young couple's first child, Charles Jr., was born on June 22, 1930. Their lives, which seemed idyllic, suddenly were shattered by a tragic event.

BACKGROUND: On May 21, 1927, Charles Lindbergh—“Lucky Lindy”—landed in Paris, completing the first solo, nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean and thus becoming one of the most famous people in the world. Lindbergh was an innovator and a great promoter of aviation, and after his famous flight both airmail and air travel grew in popularity. Four years later, Lindbergh and his wife Ann built a home in Hopewell, New Jersey. Their estate included 700 acres as well as an airstrip. As important, it was remote, ensuring privacy for the aviator who was still a major public figure four years after his record-breaking flight. From that point on, the Lindberghs divided their time between this New Jersey home, which they named Highfields, and Ann’s parents’ home in Englewood.

Charles Lindbergh, Caryl Chessman, and the Exception Proving the (Potentially Waning) Rule of Broad Prosecutorial Discretion
ISSUE 20:1 SPRING 2015 Charles Lindbergh, Caryl Chessman, and the Exception Proving the (Potentially Waning) Rule of Broad Prosecutorial Discretion Wesley M. Oliver* Perhaps ever since legislatures started defining crimes, they have given prosecutors a variety of ways to prosecute the same conduct. Courts have, almost without exception, deferred to legislatures’ broad definitions of crime. Kidnapping statutes are the exception. The high profile execution of Caryl Chessman in 1960 for kidnapping prompted considerable scholarly criticism and prompted courts nationwide to impose limiting constructions on kidnapping statutes. Recently, scholars have called for a curb in prosecutorial discretion generally, attributing the explosion in the prison population to broad criminal codes, mandatory minimums, and sentencing guidelines that provide prosecutors leverage in plea negotiations. In the last two terms, the United States Supreme Court appears to have taken on this concern, limiting the scope of federal criminal statutes, twice in cases involving criminal doctrines that are part of most state criminal codes, and once in a case expressly recognized by many of the parties as an example of overcriminalization. The Supreme Court has rarely considered “ordinary” criminal law doctrines, typically interpreting complex or jurisdictional aspects of federal criminal statutes. And neither the Supreme Court, nor any appellate court in non-kidnapping cases, has used overcriminalization as a basis for limiting the scope of a criminal statute. Academics have long criticized the growing prison population, often attributing the phenomenon to increasing prosecutorial discretion, a product of overcriminalization. The Supreme Court’s recent cases suggest that America’s mass incarceration epidemic may be able to * Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty Research and Scholarship, Duquesne University.
