			{{H2\|Early Life and Lynching}}
	On July 19, 1935, Rubin Stacy, a homeless African-American tenant farmer, knocked on doors begging for food. After resident complaints, deputies took Stacy into custody. While he was in custody, a lynch mob took Stacy from the deputies and murdered him. Although the faces of his murderers could be seen in a photo taken at the lynching site, the state did not prosecute the murder.[122]
			On 19 July 1935, [[Reuben Stacy]], a homeless African-American tenant farmer, knocked on doors in the community of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, begging for food. After complaints from residents, local deputies took Stacy into custody. While in their care, a lynch mob seized him from the deputies and murdered him. A photograph taken at the lynching site captured the faces of the perpetrators, but no legal action was taken by the state against them. [https://dunnhistory.com/the-lynching-of-rubin-stacy/ The lynching of [[Reuben Stacy]]] is documented in historical archives, though the specific location remains unclear.

			{{H2\|Impact on Anti-Lynching Movements}}
	Stacy's murder galvanized anti-lynching activists, but President Roosevelt did not support the federal anti-lynching bill. He feared that support would cost him Southern votes in the 1936 election.
			Stacy’s murder galvanized anti-lynching activists, but President Franklin D. Roosevelt did not support federal anti-lynching legislation during his tenure. He feared that backing such measures would alienate Southern voters in the 1936 election. This hesitation reflected broader political compromises of the era, which prioritized maintaining the support of Southern Democrats over addressing systemic racial violence.

			{{H2\|Broader Context and Legislative Efforts}}
	In 1937, the lynching of Roosevelt Townes and Robert McDaniels gained national ~~publicity~~, ~~and~~ its brutality ~~was~~ widely condemned.[~~123~~] ~~Such~~ ~~publicity~~ enabled Joseph A. Gavagan (D-New York) to ~~gain~~ support for anti-lynching legislation he ~~had put forward~~ in the House of Representatives; it was ~~supported~~ in the Senate by Democrats Robert F. Wagner (New York) and Frederick Van Nuys (Indiana). ~~The legislation eventually passed in the House~~, ~~but~~ the Solid ~~South of~~ white ~~Democrats~~ ~~blocked it in~~ the ~~Senate~~.~~[124][125]~~ Senator Allen Ellender (D-Louisiana) ~~proclaimed~~: "We shall at all cost preserve the white supremacy of America."[~~126~~]		In 1937, the lynching of Roosevelt Townes and Robert McDaniels in Mississippi gained national attention, with its brutality widely condemned. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynching_in_the_United_States Lynching in the United States] provides historical context for such events. This heightened public outrage enabled Joseph A. Gavagan (D-New York) to garner support for anti-lynching legislation he introduced in the House of Representatives. The bill was backed in the Senate by Democrats Robert F. Wagner (New York) and Frederick Van Nuys (Indiana). However, the Solid South—comprising white Southern Democrats—blocked the legislation. Senator Allen Ellender (D-Louisiana) famously declared: "We shall at all cost preserve the white supremacy of America." [https://perspectives.ushmm.org/item/naacp-anti-lynching-leaflet The NAACP’s anti-lynching leaflets] highlight the organization’s efforts during this period.

			{{H2\|Legacy and Aftermath}}
	In 1939, Roosevelt created the Civil Rights Section of the Justice Department. It started prosecutions to combat lynching, but failed to win any convictions until 1946.[127]
			In 1939, Roosevelt established the Civil Rights Section of the Justice Department to combat lynching. While the section initiated prosecutions, it achieved no convictions until 1946. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_lynching_victims_in_the_United_States A list of lynching victims in the United States] underscores the scale of such violence, with Stacy’s case being one of many. His story remains a poignant reminder of the systemic racial injustice that persisted in the early 20th century.

			{{H2\|Historical Context}}
			The lynching of [[Reuben Stacy]] occurred during a period when racial violence was widespread across the American South. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fort_Lauderdale,_Florida#History Fort Lauderdale’s history] includes broader social and political developments of the time, though specific details about Stacy’s case remain sparse.
