Large mobs of heavily armed white residents from all over the county roamed the area, engaging in what has been termed a \u201cpotshot\u201d occasion, firing on blacks at will, moving from road to road, cabin to cabin, and following their victims into the surrounding forests and marshes, shooting many in the back as they fled. The official death toll was between 8 and 22, but evidence suggests casualties may have been 10 times higher.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/i>\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t

One of the worst events of \u201cRed Summer,\u201d in which at least 200 Black farmers and their families were slaughtered because they had unionized to bypass the sharecropping system for better pay and higher cotton prices. A white mob shot at them and the farmers returned fire in self-defense, but when news of the confrontation spread a massacre ensued. Not only were an estimated 100 to 240 African Americans killed, they were blamed for the event and charged with murder, 12 sentenced to death.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t<\/i>\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t

National African American Reparations Commission (NAARC)<\/b><\/p>

The NAARC has developed preliminary recommendations to guide the struggle for reparations for people of African descent in the U.S.:<\/span><\/p>

  1. A formal apology and establishment of a MAAFA\/African Holocaust Institute.<\/span><\/li>
  2. The right of repatriation and creation of an African knowledge program.<\/span><\/li>
  3. The right to land for social and economic development.<\/span><\/li>
  4. Funds for cooperative enterprises and socially responsible entrepreneurial development.<\/span><\/li>
  5. Resources for the health, wellness and healing of black families and communities.<\/span><\/li>
  6. Education for community development and empowerment.<\/span><\/li>
  7. Affordable housing for healthy black communities and wealth generation.<\/span><\/li>
  8. Strengthening Black America\u2019s information and communications infrastructure.<\/span><\/li>
  9. Preserving Black sacred sites and monuments.<\/span><\/li>
  10. Repairing the damages of the \u201ccriminal injustice system.\u201d<\/span><\/li><\/ol>

    \u00a0<\/span><\/p>

    From the preamble:<\/b><\/p>

    \u201c<\/span>A political and economic system infected with white supremacy and structural\/institutional racism persisted in retarding the dreams and aspirations of a people courageously striving to sustain families, build institutions and create healthy communities in a hostile land. The devastating damages of enslavement and systems of apartheid and de facto segregation spanned generations to negatively affect the collective well being of Africans in America to this very moment. Indeed, despite the civil rights\/human rights \u201cgains\u201d achieved by the Black Freedom Struggle, the crises that continue to plague millions of Black people are incontrovertible proof that the disease of white supremacy still permeates the socio-economic and political culture, structures, institutions and systems of this society.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
