	Jazz Age Chicago -- The Chicago Race Riot of 1919
		The collecting of arms by members of both races was known to the authorities, and it was evident that this was in preparation for aggression as well as for self-defense.
		The riot was merely a symptom of serious and profound disorders lying beneath the surface of race relations in Chicago.
		Thus to understand the riot and guard against another, the Commission probed systematically into the principal phases of race contact and sought accurate information on matters which in the past have been influenced by dangerous speculation; and on the basis of its discoveries certain suggestions to the community are made.

	Chicago Race Riot - 1919 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Chicago racial tension, concentrated on the South Side, was particularly exacerbated by the pressure for adequate housing: the fl population had increased from 44,000 in 1910 to more than 109,000 in 1920.
		The riot was triggered by the death of a fl youth on July 27.
		Woodrow Wilson castigated the "white race" as "the aggressor" in both the Chicago and Washington riots, and efforts were launched to promote racial harmony through voluntary organizations and ameliorative legislation in Congress.

	Race Riots
		Chicago developed a reputation as a cauldron of specifically “racial” conflict and violence largely in the twentieth century.
		Aspiring African American professionals seeking to obtain improved housing beyond the increasingly overcrowded South Side ghetto, whether in private residences or in the new public housing developments constructed by the Chicago Housing Authority, were frequently greeted by attempted arsons, bombings, and angry white mobs often numbering into the thousands.
		Chicago has experienced several noteworthy outbreaks of this type, including the confrontation between police and the largely Puerto Rican communities of West Town and Humboldt Park during the summer of 1966, but most notably the massive 1968 West Side riots following the assassination of Martin Luther King.

		Race relations were strained due to the influx of Blacks into cities such as Chicago; their labor was needed during the war to replace the soldiers at war.
		The only difference between the riot and a lynching is that in a lynching the person is being lynched for a reason (usually untrue) but in the riot the reason was your race.
		The cause, the course, and the aftermath of the race riots show the extreme amount of discrimination and hatred that was present between the fl and white communities.

	Carl Sandburg, The Chicago Race Riots, July 1919
		While Illinois did not segregate the races in public accommodations (as southern states did into the 1960s), public beaches in Chicago were clearly segregated.
		The most tragic result of this segregation was an incident that set off the 1919 Race Riot in Chicago, five days of rioting in which 23 African Americans and 15 whites were killed.
		Carl Sandburg, a reporter at the time for the Chicago Daily News, chronicled the ensuing race riot in The Chicago Race Riot (1919), an excerpt of which is provided here.

		For a long period prior to the riots, organized gangs of white hoodlums had been perpetraing crimes against Negroes for which no arrests had been made, These gangs in many instances masqueraded under the name of 'Athletic and Social Clubs' and later direct connection was shown between then and incendiary fires started during the riots.
		In July, 1919, 90 per cent of the whites in the stockyards were union members, but 3/4 of the fl workers were, still outside of the union despite a recent organizing drive aimed at increasing fl union membership.
		In Chicago it was a case of limiting our sphere to metes and bounds that had neither the sanction of the law nor sound common sense.

	Gangs and the 1919 Race Riot
		The history of this riot, and the crucial role of white gangs, is told in the 1922 report of The Chicago Commission on Race Relations.
		The incident which sparked the riot was the drowning of a fl youth after he drifted onto a white area of a beach, on a hot, 96 degree day.
		The reasons for the riot, however, lie with segregation, vicious racism, and the organized activities of white gangs, many of which were sponsored by Chicago's political machine.
