Can you spot a common theme? No, Red Rising is not missing. These are all awesome indie books that did not wait for permission, and thrived anyway.

Today we remember the Elaine Massacre in Phillips County, Arkansas, one of the deadliest episodes of the “Red Summer” of 1919.

Sept. 30, 1919: Elaine Massacre Black farmers were massacred in Elaine, Arkansas for their efforts to fight for better pay and higher cotton prices. A white mob shot at them, and the farmers returned fire in self-defense. Estimates ...

#tdih 1919 #RedSummer Black sharecroppers met in Elaine, Arkansas to organize for fair pay for cotton.

More than 100 of them were massacred by a white mob.

Twelve Black men were sentenced to death for "riots." #Terrorism #TeachOutsideTextbook 🧵

Of the 120 people indicted for the the riot, most were never prosecuted, and none served jail time. This event was part of a pattern of race riots and white-supremacist motived violence called the #RedSummer of 1919, which was itself an outgrowth of the virulently anti-communist #FirstRedScare.

But instead of being silenced, many Black communities fought back. ✊🏿 Their resistance turned terror into determination, fueling new waves of self-defense, political organizing, and the fight against segregation.

Remembering Red Summer — Which Textbooks Seem Eager to Forget By Ursula Wolfe-Rocca Confronting a national epidemic of white mob violence, 1919 was a time when Black people defended themselves, fought back, and demanded full citizenship in thousands of acts of c...

"Pull a standard U.S. history textbook off the shelf & you’re unlikely to find more than a paragraph on #RedSummer; what you do find downplays both racism and Black resistance, while distorting facts in a dangerous 'both sides' framing." -- Ursula Wolfe-Rocca @ladyofsardines.bsky.social
