In this episode of Black Washed History, we dive into the Harlem Race Riot of 1935, often considered the first modern race riot in the United States. Sparked by rumors of police brutality against a Black teenager, this event was fueled by economic hardship, racial discrimination, and police violence, culminating in widespread unrest.
We’ll explore the root causes, key events, and long-term impact of this historic uprising, as well as the findings of the Mayor’s Commission on Conditions in Harlem. How did systemic oppression contribute to Harlem’s breaking point? And what lessons can we learn from this moment in history?
