Answer:

In the summer of 1919, over 20 race riots broke out across the nation. The worst violence occurred in Chicago. African Americans went to White Beach only and that started violence. Each sides started throwing stones at each other, and a person drowned. A full-scale riot then erupted in the city. Angry African Americans attacked white neighborhoods while whites attacked African American neighborhoods. In the end, 38 people died—15 white and 23 black—and over 500 were injured. The most serious racial outbreak occurred in Chicago late in July of the Red Summer. A African American drifted into water that was customarily used by whites, White swimmers commanded him to return to his part of the beach, and some threw stones at him. The man drowned and that caused a riot between African American and White people. 38 people had been killed, including 15 whites and 23 blacks. Hope this helps!
