The neighbourhood was located

near the stockyards and meatpacking plants

where African Americans

and new European immigrants worked.

 

Tensions had been growing

with the Great Migration

of black people from the Southern States.

Chicago's race riots remembered 100 years on

– in pictures

 

 

Between 27 July

and 3 August 1919,

violence eruptedbetween

black and white Chicagoans,

leaving 38 people dead

(23 of them black,

15 of them white)

and 537 injured.

 

Riots also broke out

in other US cities and towns

The infamous 1919

Chicago race riot,

which lasted seven days

and claimed 38 lives,

began on the shores

of Lake Michigan,

when white youth

gang members

stoned to death

a black teenager

named Eugene Williams

after he had accidentally

drifted across a color line

in the water.

 

In its aftermath,

African Americans

learned to avoid

the city’s lakefront.
