In 1922, the NAACP's lobbying efforts significantly contributed to the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the U.S. Congress. This legislation aimed to make lynching a federal crime, marking a pivotal moment in the Civil Rights Movement by addressing racial violence and injustice.

This groundwork laid the foundation for future civil rights activism.
