The emerging New Negro identity which prized unflinching resistance to secondclass citizenship further inspired veterans and their fellow black citizens. In city after city Washington DC: Chicago: Charleston: and elsewhere black men and women took up arms to repel mobs that used lynching assaults and other forms of violence to protect white supremacy: yet authorities blamed blacks for the violence leading to mass arrests and misleading news coverage. Refusing to yield African Americans sought accuracy and fairness in the courts of public opinion and the law. This is the first account of this threefront fight in the streets in the press and in the courts against mob violence during one of the worst years of racial conflict in US history.Introduction: 1. World War I and the New Negro movement: 2. We return fighting: the first wave of armed resistance: 3. Fighting a mob in uniform: armed resistance in Washington DC: 4. Blood in the streets: armed resistance in Chicago: 5. Armed resistance to the courthouse mobs: 6. Armed resistance to economic exploitation in Arkansas Indiana and Louisiana: 7. It is my only protection: federal and state efforts to disarm African Americans: 8. The fight for justice: the arrests and trials of black and white rioters: 9. The fight for justice: the death penalty cases: 10. Fighting Judge Lynch: Conclusion: 1919s aftermath and its importance in the black freedom struggle.Decades before the Black Power movement brought a national spotlight to armed selfdefense African Americans waged a multifront battle to protect themselves and their communities from white supremacist violence.
