There was a #RaceRiot in #Glasgow, Scotland, on #ThisDayInHistory in 1919. Both local sailors and some from #SierraLeone had gathered to seek work, but the locals grabbed weapons and became a violent mob. #Police arrested and charged the Black sailors, but arrested no whites.
On yesterday, 11.24, the oldest survivor of #Tulsa #RaceRiot died still fighting for justice (that many Black folks in this country never find in this life)
Rest In Peace Viola. We won't let them forget.
FYI: In 1920s there was over 100 Race Riots where white folk destroyed Black towns.
