The East St. Louis massacre was a series of violent attacks by White Americans against African Americans in East St. Louis, Illinois, from late May to early July 1917. The riots displaced some 6,000 African Americans and led to the destruction of property worth about $400,000. The particularly violent July 1917 episode was one of the worst racial riots in U.S.
