Did you know black folks gave cacs that work during the Washington D.C 1919 race riots?

glad to see she got off

Carrie Minor Johnson, a 17-year-old African American woman, became a cause celebre in black working class Washington when she and her father held off a mob of whites during the riot, then shot and killed a detective after police officers invaded their home.

Both were wounded in the shooting on the second floor of their residence and charged with murder. Charges were subsequently dropped against the father, but Carrie Johnson’s first trial resulted in a conviction for manslaughter. A second trial was granted and prosecutors dropped all charges after the new judge agreed to admit defense evidence that the young woman was in terror for her life.

A black buffalo soldier defending a black woman from two race soliders led to a literal war in the streets of Houston.




It was one of only two race riots in the city where there were more white than black deaths(the other being the DC red summer riot) and set the standard for future armed black resistance in the early 20th century.

The Jim Crow Encyclopedia

Unapologetically celebrating AADOS masculinity in the city and not givin a fukk this black history month.

I knew it happened but I didn't know the extent of it. This was whole scale rebellion. Black People in DC just wasn't going.

needless to say why they don't talk about this even in DC history classes.

They hide that to make it look one sided. there was a reason why they put in probably the world's first airstrike on a civilan postion. They had to do it.

The main reason they didn't want Black people in the military is because everytime they had to let Black people join they immediately got üppity". They'd come home and not tolerate bullshyt. Red Summer happened after WWI and the civil rights movement got kicked off after WWII and Korea.

I gotta strong feeling some of my DC and Philly fam/ancestors were down with it during that era.

Aunt Ethel's dad, my Great Grand Dad. She told me he drank a pint of whisky every day during Flu Pandemic of 1918 and never got sick.

The entire reason a lot of black people had to "flee" to the north is because they were kicking so much ass in the South

Another half that has never been told. My wife's paternal side of her family had the patriarch flee Mississippi and change the family name because he slew a cac that had tried to violate his wife. They ended up in Chicago.
