On October 17, Obama’s attorney general, Eric Holder, attended an Anti-Defamation League’s American Heritage Dinner. Holder called for the passage of The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Hate Crimes Prevention Act. A few days later, on October 22, the law was passed by Congress. Obama signed it into law on October 28. Holder said the impending passage of the legislation would be a “marvelous step of progress” and would result in what Rev. Ted Pike characterizes as stage two, “a massive national campaign to train lawyers to become hate crimes prosecutors.” Holder promised to begin using the act the moment it became law.
