In September 1906, triggered by sensational newspaper accounts accusing black men of sexually assaulting white women, Atlanta's simmering racial tension exploded. Over four days of rioting, mobs of violent whites killed at least 10 blacks, looted black-owned businesses, and ransacked homes and neighborhoods.
