About this episode
This episode discusses the events of Red Summer 1919, a period marked by racial violence in the U.S.
This 2019 episode marked 100 years since a wave of racist violence in the U.S. that became known as Red Summer. In many ways, Red Summer was a response to (but NOT caused by) two earlier events: the Great Migration and the return of black soldiers who had fought in World War I.
