Editing White supremacy (section)

===== Political violence =====
The [[Tuskegee University|Tuskegee Institute]] has estimated that 3,446 blacks were the victims of [[lynchings in the United States]] between 1882 and 1968, with the peak occurring in the 1890s at a time of economic stress in the South and increasing political suppression of blacks. If 1,297 whites were also lynched during this period, blacks were disproportionally targeted, representing 72.7% of all people lynched.<ref name="tuskegee_umkc">{{cite web |title=Lynchings: By State and Race, 1882–1968 |url=http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingsstate.html  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100629081241/http://www.law.umkc.edu/faculty/projects/ftrials/shipp/lynchingsstate.html |archive-date=June 29, 2010 |access-date=July 26, 2010 |publisher=University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Law |quote=Statistics provided by the Archives at Tuskegee Institute.}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=History of Lynchings |url=https://www.naacp.org/history-of-lynchings/ |access-date=July 1, 2020 |website=NAACP |language=en |archive-date=June 30, 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200630075925/http://www.naacp.org/history-of-lynchings/ |url-status=live }}</ref> According to scholar Amy L.
