DOWNLOAD EBOOK1919, The Year of Racial Violence recounts African Americans' brave stand against a cascade of mob attacks in the United States after World War I. The emerging New Negro identity, which prized unflinching resistance to second-class citizenship, further inspired veterans and their fellow black citizens. In city after city - Washington, DC; Chicago; Charleston; and elsewhere - black men and women took up arms to repel mobs that used lynching, assaults, and other forms of violence to protect white supremacy; yet, authorities blamed blacks for the violence, leading to mass arrests and misleading news coverage. Refusing to yield, African Americans sought accuracy and fairness in the courts of public opinion and the law. This is the first account of this three-front fight - in the streets, in the press, and in the courts - against mob violence during one of the worst years of racial conflict in US history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKA narrative history of America's deadliest episode of race riots and lynchings After World War I, black Americans fervently hoped for a new epoch of peace, prosperity, and equality. Black soldiers believed their participation in the fight to make the world safe for democracy finally earned them rights they had been promised since the close of the Civil War. Instead, an unprecedented wave of anti-black riots and lynchings swept the country for eight months. From April to November of 1919, the racial unrest rolled across the South into the North and the Midwest, even to the nation's capital. Millions of lives were disrupted, and hundreds of lives were lost. Blacks responded by fighting back with an intensity and determination never seen before. Red Summer is the first narrative history written about this epic encounter. Focusing on the worst riots and lynchings—including those in Chicago, Washington, D.C., Charleston, Omaha and Knoxville—Cameron McWhirter chronicles the mayhem, while also exploring the first stirrings of a civil rights movement that would transform American society forty years later.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Chicago Race Riots, July, 1919 Since permanent degradation is unthinkable, and amal gamation undesirable both for blacks and whites, the ideal would seem to lie in what might be called race parallel ism. Parallel lines may be equally long and equally straight; they do not join except in infinity, which is further away than anyone need worry about just now. We shall have to work out with the Negro a relationship which gives him complete access to all the machinery of our common civilization, and yet allows him to live so that no Negro need dream of a white heaven and of bleached angels. Pride of race will come to the Negro when a dark skin is no longer associated with poverty, ignorance, misery, terror and insult. When this pride arises every white man in America will be the happier for it. He will be able then, as he IS not now, to enjoy the finest quality of civilized living - the fellowship of different men.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKCarl Sandburg was not yet an internationally famous poet and author when he wrote a series of articles about contemporary race relations for the Chicago Daily News in 1919. The Great Migration of African Americans from the rural South to industrial centers like Chicago was well underway, and Sandburg was one of the first journalists to perceptively explore the complex and potentially incendiary social, economic, and political forces that were at work. When Chicago exploded in interracial violence, Sandburg was viewed as a prophet. His articles for the Daily News were published in book form for posterity, and they are presented anew in this volume, a century after their first appearance.
