Strong racial prejudice has existed for a great many years against the Greeks. It reached its climax in a race riot a few years ago, when the entire Greek settlement was driven from the community by a mob. Immigrants of other races meet with no general obstacles."Dillingham, W.P. (1918) Reports of the Dillingham Commission: Immigrants in the Industries, p 344.〕 3,000 men were responsible for killing one boy, displacing the entire population of Greek Town, and burning down the Greek neighborhood in South Omaha.〔("South Omaha mob wars on Greeks" ), ''The New York Times.'' February 21, 1909. Retrieved 4/16/08.〕 == Background == In February 1909, a Greek immigrant man was taking English lessons from a young woman in South Omaha. For some reason, a policeman named Edward Lowery (of Irish descent) arrested him and the young woman on February 19, 1909. While Lowery transported them to the jailhouse, the Greek man pulled out a handgun and mortally wounded the officer.〔Officer Lowery also pulled out his service revolver and shot the Greek man.("Edward Lowery" ), Policeman Down Memorial Page. Retrieved 5/11/08.〕 Greek immigrants had come to the city as strikebreakers, and earlier arrivals resented them. Among those who were hostile were ethnic Irish, who had a large community in South Omaha. Omaha newspapers were particularly renowned for their yellow journalism during this period. They fanned racist flames with salacious headlines about the case .〔Larsen, L. & Cotrell, B. (1997). ''The gate city: A history of Omaha.'' University of Nebraska Press. P 165.〕 The ''Omaha Daily News'' wrote, "Their quarters have been unsanitary; they have insulted women... Herded together in lodging houses and living cheaply, Greeks are a menace to the American laboring manjust as the Japs, Italians, and other similar laborers are."〔(nd) ("Racial tension in Nebraska in the 1920s." ) NebraskaStudies.Org. Retrieved 6/7/07.〕 When the Greek perpetrator was finally apprehended, two state legislators (one of Irish descent) and an attorney called a mass meeting of more than 900 men. They "harangued the mob", raising emotions against the Greeks.〔("South Omaha mob wars on Greeks" ), ''The New York Times.'' February 21, 1909. Retrieved 4/16/08.〕 The mob, gathering more men along the way, thronged around the South Omaha Jail where the Greek prisoner was being held. The police decided it was unsafe to keep him there and decided to move their prisoner to the main Omaha jail. The mob followed the police wagon as it left the jail. More than once they got their hands on the prisoner. At one point they almost lynched him. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Greek Town riot」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
