@bulliessuck2024.bsky.socialFacts: A #WhiteSupremacist mob shot at Black farmers, & they returned fire in self-defense. The White governor called U.S. Army for back-up. When it was over, historical estimates range from 100 to 800 Black Americans killed. 67 survivors were indicted for inciting violence.

@liamomaraiv.bsky.social(2 of 2) The #ElaineMassacre from #ThisDayInHistory in 1919 began with #Black farmers organizing for better pay and facing a white mob that opened fire on them. They shot back, and the mob killed up to 800 of them, with dozens of survivors imprisoned for supposedly inciting it.
