Together with other riots in 1919, the Omaha riot prompted the United States Senate Committee on Judiciary in October 1919 to call for an investigation of urban, industrial and racial problems. The committee members recognized lynchings as a justified cause of bitterness in the black community, and enumerated the riots of 1919 and lynchings as among the factors for its investigation. They called for leaders of the white and black communities to work toward reconciliation.[citation needed] In July 1918, President Woodrow Wilson had made a speech against lynching and mob violence.[2] Congress had considered anti-lynching legislation since George Henry White introduced H.R. 6963 on January 20, 1900.[3] President Joe Biden signed America's first anti-lynching law in March 2022.[4]
