Combating the New Housing Apartheid: Lessons from the Great Rent Strike War of 1932

Good morning! And Happy Black History Month everyone!

Remember the Alabama Riverboat Brawl back in August? This post has nothing to do with that, I just wanted to bring it up because that’s the type of energy I’m planning to be on all month.

But I do have an interesting bit of history I wanted to share with y’all if that’s OK.

It’s about a riot that took place 92 years ago, where hundreds of tenants facing eviction violently beat the crap out of the law enforcement officers trying to evict them.
