Attacks on African-Americans exited from Reconstruction (1865-1877) into the early 20th century. Disenfranchisement, intimidation, and even lynchings occurred during the so-called "Jim Crow" period from 1878 to 1914 and World War I, and included several situations of open racial violence. These included:

1900 - In the Tenderloin district of Manhattan, whites attacked African-Americans following the stabbing death of a white police officer.

1906 - As many as 40 African-Americans were killed in race riots in Atlanta.

1908 - In Springfield, Illinois, white mobs burned black homes and businesses, but more whites died (5) than blacks (2).

1917 - As many as 100 African-Americans were killed in race riots in East St. Louis, partly caused by conflicts with unemployed or striking workers.
