Racial violence in the early twentieth century was mainly associated with economic issues. The East St. Louis riot killed at least 100 blacks. The Atlanta, Omaha and Chicago riots killed hundreds of blacks and were caused by economic tensions. In many cases, the rioters were represented by a large segment of ethnic white immigrants, who competed with blacks for jobs.

African Americans were moving to the North to work in factories.
Racial tensions in the North were fueled by a combination of factors, including the Great Migration, which saw a significant influx of African Americans from the South seeking better opportunities and escaping Jim Crow laws. This demographic shift often led to competition for jobs and housing, exacerbating existing prejudices among white residents. Additionally, incidents of violence and discrimination, coupled with the rise of segregationist attitudes in urban areas, heightened tensions and led to conflicts, such as race riots in cities like Chicago and Detroit during the early to mid-20th century. Economic disparities and social inequalities further intensified these racial divides.
Ida B. Wells became an activist in her early twenties after the lynching of her close friends in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1892. Initially a teacher and journalist, she used her writing to expose the injustices of racial violence and advocate for civil rights. Her investigative journalism and fierce anti-lynching campaigns made her a prominent figure in the fight for racial equality and women's rights.
