What Kind of Mob Ruled in the City
Citizens recount a Saturday night of disorder not a mob. The crowd, mainly youths aged 15 to 30, included some troublemakers and men willing to loot. Police struggled as violence targeting Black residents spread along Pryor and Decatur, Central Avenue, and streetcars. Eventually an artificial rain quelled the unrest, with estimates of about 2,000 involved at the height and later around 3,000.
