This paper examines African American middle-class women's efforts to establish interracial cooperation with Southern white middle-class women and their failure, focusing on the anti-lynching movement in the 1930s. African American women leaders sought to make an alliance with white women, who had just won suffrage, in order to improve race relations and the conditions for African Americans in the South. Southern white women responded to the call of African American women leaders, organizing the Committee on Women's Work in the Commission on Interracial Cooperation in 1920, and the Association of Southern Women for the Prevention of Lynching (ASWPL) in 1930. At the emotional level white middle-class women accepted African American middle-class women as respectable allies, but in actual fact they did not admit that African Americans had the same political and legal rights as they did. ASWPL's strategy reflected this white women's attitude. They believed that they could abolish lynching through white women's moral influence over their communities. As a result, they did not approve federal intervention via the Costigan-Wagner Bill, the federal anti-lynching bill introduced in 1935, which deeply disappointed African American women. The anti-lynching movement, ASWPL, seemed designed to promote interracial cooperation but instead it revealed the different motives for interracial cooperation between African American women and Southern white women.
