Mob Rule in New Orleans (AmazonClassics Edition)
Description :
On a New Orleans morning in 1900, a young Black man named
Robert Charles dared to fight back after an unprovoked assault by
three white officers. The officers had first approached Charles on the
grounds that he looked “suspicious” in a
predominantly white neighborhood, and began to attack him after he
stood up. After shots were fired, Charles fled on foot, and legal
sanction was granted to anyone who sought to kill the
“desperado” (as the white newspapers of the time
quickly labeled him). In the days that followed, riotous mobs
overtook New Orleans. Immune to the law, their only purpose was
to pursue and murder any Black person in sight.Wells-
Barnett’s clear-eyed narrative, which includes extensive
quotations from newspaper reports of the time, exposed the brutal
racism of the Jim Crow South in startling—and
harrowing—detail.Revised edition: Previously published as Mob
Rule in New Orleans, this edition of Mob Rule in New Orleans
(AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.
