Apr. 30, 1934. United States Senate Washington My Dear Mother- A filibuster is being [ ] by the Senators from the South to prevent consideration of the anti-lynching Bill.  We have to stay here and suffer for fear that a roll call may occur in our absence. Sen. Glass came in and asked me what was going on and I replied "more bank from Bankhead" and he retorted "You mean Blockhead"- Sen. Bankhead has the floor.
