The Red Summer becomes the first mass-scale white supremacist violence against Black families in the North. White mob terror erupts in response to Black vets wearing military uniforms in public, Black children swimming in the white section of Lake Michigan, and Black sharecroppers in Arkansas organizing for better wages and working conditions.
Anti-Black violence takes place in cities across the U.S. White supremacists lynch nearly 100 black people and initiate dozens of smaller racist clashes throughout the country.
