In 1900 New Orleans, a young Black man named Robert Charles responds to an unprovoked attack by three white officers, igniting chaos in the city. Labeled a "desperado" by local newspapers, Charles becomes the target of violent mobs empowered to kill any Black person in sight. Wells-Barnett's narrative, enriched with historical newspaper quotations, vividly reveals the brutal racism of the Jim Crow South. This revised edition of Mob Rule in New Orleans offers a stark and harrowing look at the events that unfolded.
