Synopsis
This book presents shocking accounts of violence against Black people in New York City in August 1900, as recorded in the aftermath by journalist and civil rights activist Frank Moss. The author was moved to action by his outrage at widespread attacks on African American citizens during a period of rioting, and went on to help establish The Citizens Protective League to protest the brutality and to fight for justice. Featuring numerous sworn affidavits detailing acts of police brutality and aggression, the book brings to light a largely untold story from a dark and shameful period in U.S. history, and stands as a testament to the author's impassioned advocacy for victims of racial violence. This book provides valuable historical context for contemporary discussions around police brutality and racial justice in America.
