Beaumont Race Riot of 1943
- Beaumont Race Riot of 1943
The 1943 race riots in Beaumont, Texas, were a series of racially targeted violence during the summer months of 1943. In 1942, a worsening of socioeconomic conditions nationally aggravated interracial tensions. Racial animosity and friction during the Jim Crow era were not unusual, but wartime conditions made matters worse. Four unrelated events amplified the mounting racial tensions in Beaumont. In the months before the riot, numerous atrocities were exacted upon African Americans in Houston, Texas and the surrounding counties. [cite journal
