Knoxville Riot of 1919

The Knoxville Riot of 1919 was a race riot that took place in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States, on August 30–31, 1919. The riot began when a lynch mob stormed the county jail in search of Maurice Mays, a mulatto man who had been accused of murdering a white woman. Unable to find Mays, the rioters looted the jail and fought a pitched gun battle with the residents of a predominantly black neighborhood. The Tennessee National Guard, which at one point fired two machine guns indiscriminately into this neighborhood, eventually dispersed the rioters.〔Matthew Lakin, "'A Dark Night': The Knoxville Race Riot of 1919," ''Journal of East Tennessee History'', 72 (2000), pp. 1–29.〕 Newspapers placed the death toll at just two, though eyewitness accounts suggest it was much higher.〔
The Riot of 1919 was one of several violent racial incidents that occurred during the so-called Red Summer, when race riots plagued cities across the United States. The riot was one of the worst racial episodes in Knoxville's history, and shattered the city's vision of itself as a racially tolerant Southern town.〔Mark Banker, ''Appalachians All: East Tennesseans and the Elusive History of an American Region'' (Knoxville, Tenn.: University of Tennessee Press, 2010), pp. 105–106.〕 After the riot, many black residents left Knoxville, and racial violence continued to flare up sporadically in subsequent years.〔
