Riots erupt after a policeman's confrontation with a black citizen. Buildings are destroyed, businesses attacked and many people die. 2020? No, this is Chicago in 1919 during the violent "Red Summer" across the nation. This edition includes Carl Sandburg's book about the riot as well as the chapter describing the riot in detail from the Chicago Commission Report. 35 photographs and an introduction by Walter Lippman are also included. Sandburg's list of recommendations are still very applicable today. Sandburg analyzes the Chicago race riot of 1919 that was a violent racial conflict started by white Americans against black Americans that began on the South Side of Chicago, Illinois on July 27, and ended on August 3, 1919. During the riot, thirty-eight people died (23 black and 15 white). Over the week, injuries attributed to the episodic confrontations stood at 537, with two-thirds of the injured being black and one-third white, while the approximately 1,000 to 2,000 who lost their homes were mostly black. It is considered the worst of the nearly 25 riots and civil disturbances in the United States during the "Red Summer" of 1919, so named because of the racial and labor related violence and fatalities across the nation. The prolonged conflict made it one of the worst riots in the history of Illinois. Also included is the chapter detailing the riots from the Chicago Commission Report of 1922.
