Racial Violence is violence caused by the hate of someone else's race. In this time period there were racial tensions everywhere. US race riots were happening every time you turned your back. This took a turn in things since most of them were happening after the great migration. Racial violence wasn't new, since blacks were held as slaves, it has been going on since the late 1660's. The summer of 1919 also known as "the Red Summer" was one of the biggest times of deaths and fights. These were some troubling times in the States. Even though blacks wanted these laws and acts of hate to be gone it wouldn't just take a few years. Many political leaders spoke on this topic trying to end it, but it took a lot of fights, protests, to get to what they fought for.
