Proper old-style, literally hung from a tree and executed by a mob of over a thousand? Well over 70 years ago, it would have been prior to the 1950's.
Even Emmitt Till wasn't lynched. He was murdered by 1 person with, I think 2 accomplices.
Even when I say "Kyle Rittenhouse defeated an attempted lynching", I mean it in it's denotative sense: A violent group of disorganized people declaring itself the final arbiter of justice and extra-judicially executing a scapegoat for their emotional state. Not in it's stereotypical sense of literally having a bloodthirsty crowd of hundreds or thousands braying to see a hanging.
Even White Supremacist murders or assassinations don't qualify as lynchings, and those would have continued well into the 70's, but your classic picture of a lynching would have basically stopped by the 40's & 50's. Southern governments, even under Jim Crow, actually tried to stop them for decades, but the influence of the Klan in state governments, and the utility of state-tolerated terrorism served too many people in government and the media too well.
They do the same thing with "Red-Lining". Red Lining as a process was invented as a policy under the Wilson administration at the turn of the century. Redlining was abolished by the federal government (because it was a federal program) back in the 50's.
Red-Lining literally doesn't exist. What they call "red-lining" is literally just "white people living in places I don't want them to live" or "black people NOT living in places I want them to go."
Lmao, WHAT!?! When was the last time any African American was lynched?! Gotta be at least 50 years ago, right? If not longer.
But no, that happens frequently. Sure, whatever.
