April 20, 1921 – “Legislature passed the Minnesota Lynching Bill, that stipulates a law enforcement officer can be removed from duty for not stopping a lynching and that damages can be recovered by the victim's family. It was authored by civic activist Nellie G. Francis in direct response to the Duluth lynchings of 1920.”
