Answer:

George White proposed a bill that made lynching a federal crime.

Explanation:

George White was a politician and a member of the Republican Party who was elected to the House of Representatives in North Carolina in 1880.

He was later elected as a congressman in 1896 and later became the only African American in the House of Representatives.

He proposed a bill in January 1901 that made lynching a federal crime. The bill declared lynching as an act of treason and that anyone that participates in it would face capital punishment. But the proposition was not taken into consideration.
