This episode explains the causes, events and aftermath of three riots in response to a mixed race issue. The Knoxville Riots began over an accused biracial man for murder. The Danville Riots began over an integrated political Readjuster Party. New York’s Mixed Race Riot was a combination of resistance to the draft, and mixed race communities that had both Irish and Blacks, living, working, and loving, side by side.
Are there any more social incidents that you know, that were related to our mixed race community? Call the show at 510-852-9550 and share your ideas!
