Result: Jim Crow and violence Really last night was one of the most scarey nights that we have ever spent here. The streets were wild with the mob all day yesterday and some thot that they would come out here at night but I really was not afraid. We stayed at home and I slept with my gun under my bed. 1906 Atlanta Race Riot

It is an exception to not find one, two or three fire arms in each cabin, and the lives of our best citizens has no protection. . . . We have twenty five or fifty negroes to one white man.
