The summer of 1919 became known as the Red Summer after a series of deadly riots took place between white and black Americans. It apparently started after whites threw rocks at, and eventually drowned, a black youth swimming near the white area of a segregated Chicago beach. 26 race riots took place that summer, in which hundreds of people, mostly African American, were killed or injured.
