Скачать или смотреть Red Summer 1919

In July 1919, Washington D.C. became a battleground of racial violence, marking the infamous Red Summer. This began with a four-day riot initiated by white civilians and military personnel, sparked by unfounded allegations against a black man. The mobs brutally targeted African American individuals and businesses, leading to at least 15 deaths and scores injured. Amidst the chaos, local police inertia forced the African American community to defend itself. Sensationalist journalism by white-owned newspapers, including the Washington Post, exacerbated the unrest. The city's failure to protect its citizens prompted President Woodrow Wilson to deploy the National Guard. This episode is notable for its rare higher white casualty figure in racial violence contexts of the era. Concurrently, in Norfolk, Virginia, racial violence erupted against African American veterans, further underscoring the widespread racial strife during the Red Summer.
