The #ColfaxMassacre, the worst incident of #WhiteSupremacist anti-#Reconstruction violence, was on #ThisDayInHistory in 1873. A mob of #KKK & #WhiteLeague shitstains attacked a courthouse in #Louisiana, killing 150 Black men. This sign was erected by segregationist shits in 1950.

Today in Labor History April 13, 1873: The Colfax massacre, occurred in Colfax, Louisiana. A mob of former Confederate soldiers and current KKK members murdered 60-153 black militiamen after they surrendered. The militiamen were guarding the parish courthouse in the wake of the contested 1872 election for governor. Southern elections during Reconstruction were regularly marred by violence and fraud. It was the worst act of racist violence during Reconstruction.
