Today in class we will be discussing the “Red Summer” of race riots in American. More specifically we will be discussing the Elaine (Arkansas) Race Riot of 1919. This was a riot that created over a dispute over wages for black sharecroppers and would end with terrible violence and military action. In class we will be discussing whether or not military action was needed in this riot.
