On days like today, I reflect on the Springfield Race Riots. In 1908, a mob of white residents torched Black homes and businesses—murdering at least 6. Their intent was clear: Springfield may be the home of Lincoln, the Great Emancipator, but Black Americans were not welcome. https://t.co/Z25CRzgADz — PolitiTweet.org
