  Elaine Race Riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Elaine Race Riot was a deadly 1919 race riot in the town of Elaine in Phillips County, Arkansas which gained national attention and spurred a major U.S. Supreme Court ruling.
The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld the death sentences of the six other defendants, rejecting the challenge to the all-white jury as untimely and finding that the mob atmosphere and use of coerced testimony did not deny the defendants the due process of law to which they were entitled.
In early 2000 a conference on the Elaine Riot was held in Helena, Arkansas at the Delta Cultural Center.
