The Springfield riots refer to a violent racial conflict that occurred in Springfield, Illinois, in August 1908. Triggered by the lynching of a Black man, the riots involved a white mob attacking the Black community, resulting in the deaths of several African Americans and significant property destruction. This event highlighted the rampant racism of the time and contributed to the founding of the NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People) in 1909. The riots served as a catalyst for civil rights activism in the United States.
