An angry white man began throwing stones at the boys, striking and killing one. Racial conflict on the beach erupted into days of urban violence that shook the city of Chicago to its foundations. This mesmerizing narrative draws on contemporary accounts as it traces the roots of the explosion that had been building for decades in race relations, politics, business, and clashes of culture.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eArchival photos and prints, source notes, bibliography, index.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJanuary 1, 2017\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"FREEAIR Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50610179211586,"sku":"","price":7.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/8735\/3154\/files\/fewreddrops.jpg?v=1747587431","url":"https:\/\/shop.freeairbooks.com\/products\/a-few-red-drops-the-chicago-race-riot-of-1919-claire-hartfield","provider":"FREEAIR Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
