Description

Explore a transformative period in American history with 1919, The Year of Racial Violence. This work from Cambridge University Press recounts the brave stand taken by African Americans against a wave of mob attacks following World War I. As the New Negro identity emerged, prioritizing resistance against second-class citizenship, veterans and citizens alike fought to defend their communities. Through detailed accounts of events in Washington, DC, Chicago, Charleston, and other cities, the book examines how black men and women took up arms to repel violence used to protect white supremacy. It provides a deep look into a time when authorities often blamed the victims, leading to mass arrests and misleading narratives. This history book offers a necessary perspective on the fight for justice and the struggle against systemic violence in the early 20th century.
