The 1919 Red Summer
The 1919 Red Summer by David Moore
In the summer of 1919, America burned. Across more than three dozen cities and towns, white mobs unleashed violence against Black communities in what came to be known as the Red Summer. In Chicago, Washington, Elaine, Omaha, and beyond, the war that Black soldiers had fought abroad gave way to a different war at home — one for survival, dignity, and the right to belong in their own country.
With gripping detail and narrative force, The 1919 Red Summer reconstructs one of the most violent and least remembered chapters in American history. David Moore takes readers into the crowded streets, the smoke-filled skies, and the homes left in ashes, revealing the courage of those who resisted, the complicity of those who allowed it, and the silence that followed.
This is not just the story of 1919 — it is the story of America's reckoning with race, democracy, and the cost of forgetting.
