I had a really productive morning working on the book. I uncovered a story about an all-Black minstrel troupe/orchestra showing up in a town occupied by the state militia following a race riot. The riot started when a Black man show a white man at a rail yard, and the mob was made up of his fellow railroad workers. The Black troupe pulled up in a lush private Pullman coach. (The response of the paper was Black people are not policed enough to prevent race riots. Sigh.)
