- Los disturbios raciales de Knoxville de 1919 fueron unos disturbios raciales que tuvieron lugar en Knoxville, Tennessee entre el 30 y el 31 de agosto de 1919. Los sucesos comenzaron, cuando un grupo de personas irrumpieron en una cárcel del condado en busca de Maurice Mayes, un hombre mulato que había sido acusado de asesinar a una mujer blanca. Incapaces de encontrar a Mayes, el grupo inició una batalla campal con los residentes, la mayoría afroamericanos. La Guardia Nacional de Tennessee dispersó a los enfrentados disparando indiscriminadamente con dos ametralladoras. La prensa cifró el número de muertos en sólo dos, aunque testigos oculares indicaron que el número había sido mucho mayor. Este suceso fue uno de los numerosos disturbios de carácter racial que se produjeron durante el llamado Verano Rojo por todo Estados Unidos. El motín está considerado uno de los peores episodios raciales en la historia de Knoxville, haciéndose añicos la tradicional tolerancia racial que había vivido esta ciudad del sur. Tras la revuelta, muchos residentes negros abandonaron la ciudad y los brotes de violencia racial se convirtieron en algo esporádico. (es)
- The Knoxville riot of 1919 was a race riot that took place in the American city of Knoxville, Tennessee, on August 30–31, 1919. The riot began when a lynch mob stormed the county jail in search of Maurice Mays, a biracial man who had been accused of murdering a white woman. Unable to find Mays, the rioters looted the jail and fought a pitched gun battle with the residents of a predominantly black neighborhood. The Tennessee National Guard, which at one point fired two machine guns indiscriminately into this neighborhood, eventually dispersed the rioters. At the end of August 1919 the Great Falls Daily Tribune reported four killed in a "race war riot" while the Washington Times reported "Scores dead." Other newspapers placed the death toll at just two, though eyewitness accounts suggest it was much higher. The Riot of 1919 was one of several violent racial incidents that occurred during the so-called Red Summer when race riots plagued cities across the United States. The riot was one of the worst racial episodes in Knoxville's history and shattered the city's vision of itself as a racially tolerant Southern town. After the riot, many black residents left Knoxville, and racial violence continued to flare up sporadically in subsequent years. (en)
