EXHIBIT INFORMATION
COMING EXHIBIT
Violence has long been used to control and intimidate racial groups in the United States. The hostility has targeted a wide array of nonwhite people: African Americans, Asians, Mexicans and Native Americans.
The mold was set during slavery when slaveholders resorted to physical coercion to enforce human bondage.
The causes varied, from political coups to conflicts over segregation to hysteria over crimes and economic competition. Whatever the spark, these acts of racial terror killed hundreds of people, undermined generational wealth and destroyed millions of dollars' worth of residential and commercial property.
