520    The dramatic and first popular account of one of the 
       deadliest racial confrontations in the 20th century?in 
       East St. Louis in the summer of 1917?which paved the way 
       for the civil rights movement. In the 1910s, half a 
       million African Americans moved from the impoverished 
       rural South to booming industrial cities of the North in 
       search of jobs and freedom from Jim Crow laws. But 
       Northern whites responded with rage, attacking blacks in 
       the streets and laying waste to black neighborhoods in a 
       horrific series of deadly race riots that broke out in 
       dozens of cities across the nation, including Philadelphia,
       Chicago, Tulsa, Houston, and Washington, D.C. In East St. 
       Louis, Illinois, corrupt city officials and industrialists
       had openly courted Southern blacks, luring them North to 
       replace striking white laborers.  This tinderbox erupted 
       on July 2, 1917 into what would become one of the 
       bloodiest American riots of the World War era.
