All true! But there's more to the story - and that "more" is every bit as relevant to the politics of the 2020s as the race pogroms of 1919-21. 3/x — PolitiTweet.org

Here's crucial context for both riots and strikes: The First World War had generated significant price inflation in the United States. At war's end, US economic and monetary decided to force a return to pre-war price levels. That implied big cuts in wages. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org
