In all parts of the city, white mobs dragged from surface cars, black passengers wholly ignorant of any trouble, and set upon them. An unidentified man, young woman and a 3 month old baby were found dead on the street at the intersection of 47th street and Wentworth avenue. She had attempted to board a car there when the mob seized her, beat her, slashed her body into ribbons and beat the Baby’s brains out against a telegraph pole. Not satisfied with this, one rioter severed her breasts and a white youngster bore it aloft on pole, triumphantly, while the crowd hooted gleefully. All the time this was happening, several policemen were in the crowd, but did not make any attempt to make rescue until too late.
What are you talking about? I've seen The Red Summer of 1919 mentioned or talked about in mainstream documentaries or TV shows/specials about Black history many times.
You got a point. They don't teach about The Red Summer of 1919 in school. I never heard about it before this summer. I just know about it from watching random documentaries or TV shows/specials I downloaded from Torrents or I watched on YouTube since this summer.
