Can you spot a common theme? No, Red Rising is not missing. These are all awesome indie books that did not wait for permission, and thrived anyway.

Today we remember the Elaine Massacre in Phillips County, Arkansas, one of the deadliest episodes of the “Red Summer” of 1919.

#tdih 1919 #RedSummer Black sharecroppers met in Elaine, Arkansas to organize for fair pay for cotton.
More than 100 of them were massacred by a white mob.
Twelve Black men were sentenced to death for "riots." #Terrorism #TeachOutsideTextbook 🧵

Of the 120 people indicted for the the riot, most were never prosecuted, and none served jail time. This event was part of a pattern of race riots and white-supremacist motived violence called the #RedSummer of 1919, which was itself an outgrowth of the virulently anti-communist #FirstRedScare.
But instead of being silenced, many Black communities fought back. ✊🏿 Their resistance turned terror into determination, fueling new waves of self-defense, political organizing, and the fight against segregation.

"Pull a standard U.S. history textbook off the shelf & you’re unlikely to find more than a paragraph on #RedSummer; what you do find downplays both racism and Black resistance, while distorting facts in a dangerous 'both sides' framing." -- Ursula Wolfe-Rocca @ladyofsardines.bsky.social
