	New Georgia Encyclopedia: Atlanta Race Riot of 1906
		During the Atlanta race riot that occurred September 22-24, 1906, white mobs killed dozens of fls, wounded scores of others, and inflicted considerable property damage.
		Such conditions caused concern among elite whites, who feared the social intermingling of the races, and led to an expansion of Jim Crow segregation, particularly in the separation of white and fl neighborhoods and separate seating areas for public transportation.
		The riot contributed to the passage of statewide prohibition and fl suffrage restriction by 1908.

	Race riot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A race riot or racial riot is an outbreak of violent civil unrest in which race is a key factor.
		Such riots often reflect anger among racial minority groups that are regarded as socio-economically deprived, and often such anger is directed at law enforcement agencies who are perceived to unfairly target these racial groups.
		Racial profiling, police brutality, institutional racism, urban renewal, and racial identity politics are often cited as causes of these riots, although many have argued that these riots tend not to follow any sort of political logic but rather represent spontaneous violent outbursts.
