The Elaine Massacre (1919)
It's September 30th. This day in 1919, a bloody racial conflict is breaking out in the Arkansas Delta.
Jody, Niki, and Kellie discuss how a push to organize sharecroppers, combined with rumors and a frenzied media led to possibly hundreds of Black residents being killed by white mobs.
