In the days that followed, white gang members terrorized African Americans on the city's South Side and Black Chicagoans armed and defended themselves in response. By the end of the first week of August, when the rioting finally ended, thirty-eight Chicagoans lay dead and hundreds nursed injuries as a result of what became known as America's \"Red Summer.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe late Christopher Lamberti, with the help of editor Sean Dinces, recounts this sobering history using GIS software to map what occurred.
