i, i don't think i and i know most people i've spoken to are not -- thatducated people america erected in these race inhts across the country 1917, 1918, 1919. 1919 was known as the red summer. the chicago race riot was the worst of many that took lace that summer. what made the riot different is that it was the first and probably the deadliest of two dozen riots that took place in world war i. it was the first one. it was probably the deadliest. it sort of set the pattern for those that followed. whites would attack blacks and accuse them of taking their jobs. in some cases, white industrialists were in part guilty for flooding the market with blacks. they were advertising in southern newspapers for help wanted when there were no jobs out also that they would have a large goal of workers to draw from so the unions could not organize against them. ithink it was the first and set the pattern. it was followed by what i consider to be the first major civil rights demonstration. there was a march 2 weeks after the riot among mid july of 1917. there were between 8000 and 10,000 people march
