In July 1919, the streets surrounding the White House became contested ground. White servicemen and civilians moved through Washington, D.C., attacking Black residents while police failed to provide equal protection. Veterans and neighborhood defenders refused to submit quietly.
Blood in the Capital reconstructs the rumors, newspaper incitement, political hesitation, and organized street violence that brought the Red Summer to the seat of American power. It follows residents crossing dangerous streetcar routes, families sheltering behind darkened windows, hospital workers treating the injured, and Black veterans organizing a defense as federal and municipal officials struggled to regain control.
Against the familiar explanation of a spontaneous race riot, Nicolas De Lacroix reveals a battle over citizenship, authority, and the right to survive in public space. The result is a tense work of narrative nonfiction that shows how quickly national ideals collapsed when Black Washington demanded that democracy apply at home.
