The city was under the pressures of both wartime industrial production and the nascent civil rights movement, setting the stage for massive turmoil and racial violence. Thirty-four people were killed, most of whom were Black, and over half of these were killed by police. Two thousand people were arrested, and over seven hundred sustained injuries requiring treatment at local hospitals. Property damage was estimated to be nearly $2 million. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith \u003ci\u003eRun Home If You Don't Want to Be Killed\u003c\/i\u003e, Rachel Marie-Crane Williams delivers a graphic retelling of the racism and tension leading up to the violence of those summer days. By incorporating firsthand accounts collected by the NAACP and telling them through a combination of hand-drawn images, historical dialogue, and narration, Williams makes the history and impact of these events immediate, and in showing us what happened, she reminds us that many issues of the time--police brutality, state-sponsored oppression, economic disparity, white supremacy--plague our country to this day. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rachel Marie-Crane Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1469663260\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781469663265\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of North Carolina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.69d","brand":"Rachel Marie-Crane Williams","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43993420464383,"sku":"9781469663265","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_348f3851-0431-4442-a62d-f58dd57e8493.jpg?v=1683324251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/run-home-if-you-dont-rachel-marie-crane-williams-9781469663265","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
