By William Ivy Hair
One July week in 1900 an obscure black laborer named Robert Charles drew national headlines when he shot twenty-seven whites―including seven policemen―in a series of encounters with the New Orleans police. An avid supporter of black emigration, Charles believed it foolish to rely on southern whites to uphold the law or to acknowledge even minimal human rights for blacks. He therefore systematically armed himself, manufacturing round after round of his own ammunition before undertaking his intentionally symbolic act of violent resistance.
