Divide students into groups and give each group one of the following documents. Each document demonstrates the ways in which one person or group fought to end lynching. 

• Ida B. Wells, “The Malicious and Untruthful White Press”
• President William McKinley, “Lynch Law Condemned”
• Mary Church Terrell, 1904 Speech
• Leonidas Dyer, Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill
• NAACP, Photograph of Flag Waving
• Eleanor Roosevelt, Letter to Walter White

Have each group create a poster that answers the following questions about their document. Students may conduct additional research to answer the questions. Students should teach the class about their assigned person or group using the poster as a visual aid.

• How did this person or group work to end lynching? What strategies did they use?
• What obstacles did they encounter?
• To what extent were they successful, and why or why not?
• What’s the most important quotation or detail from your assigned document?
