Anybody who knows me well knows that music is a huge part of my life (fun fact: it's a dream of mine to be tasked with compiling the soundtrack for a movie or TV series)
Here's a thread of some of my favorite playlists: different genres, different moods, great music
Enjoy! 💜🎶

7. Rumor got out that the police had killed their comrades, and infuriated began to plot their revenge.
Soon a rumor came out that a large lynch mob was marching on Camp Logan where the soldiers were stationed.
Undeterred, they armed themselves ready for battle.

6. When a Black soldier offered to take custody of the woman, he was pistol whipped and arrested himself.
When another soldier came to inquire where they'd taken their comrade, they pistol whipped and shot at him as he fled into a nearby home.
They followed him, beat him, and arrested him

5. In August, two HPD officers interrupted a gathering in a Black neighborhood by shooting into the air. Some of the Black soldiers fled and were chased by the officers.
Not finding them, they dragged and arrested a Black woman from her home they thought was hiding one of the soldiers.

On the backdrop of the violent massacre that had occured in E St Louis that same year and Waco the previous year, racial tensions were on high.

3. Houston was strictly segregated city as were most cities in the South in 1917.
Despite guarding the camp, the Black soldiers were forced to endure the worst indignities from both the Houston police department & regular citizens.

As I have long maintained, at the end of the day it’s lawyers, not police nor military, who actually protect and safeguard your “freedom” and civil rights.
