New Yorker Articles

The primary difference between these articles is the experience of people of color, particularly black people at the time and place. The difference between living in a more northern or southern state meant variables in types of racism... Covert v. Overt, and threat of physical harm v. being ignored. The South had always been a place where overt forms of racial abuse have been condoned, so when black people started to make nonviolent actions of protest, violence was the response.
