The ink had barely dried on the Treaty of Versailles, when fighting erupted across the nation, with returning Black veterans being the main target.  Between the years of the Civil War and WWII, thousands of African Americans were targeted as victims of lynchings and other forms terror, often in a very public setting. This, naturally traumatized and tortured black communities. Its important to understand that Black American life is not singularly defined by violence. These stories are an important part of history and for a long time have been not just gone untold, but kept from being told.   EVERYTHING TRUE CRIME GUYS:   https://linktr.ee/Truecrimeguysproductions   Patreon.com/truecrimeguys Merch: truecrimeguys.threadless.com   Sources:   https://www.history.com/news/red-summer-1919-riots-chicago-dc-great-migration    https://www.theworldwar.org/learn/about-wwi/red-summer    https://www.americanyawp.com/reader/21-world-war-i/w-e-b-dubois-returning-soldiers-may-1919/    https://youtu.be/Q_1Zwm8N_vo    https://www.blackpast.org/african-american-history/washington-d-c-race-riot-1919/    https://eji.org/reports/targeting-black-veterans/
