Title

Draft Riots Vignettes

Description

These vignettes provide a vivid picture of mob mentality.
Mob leaders harangue the crowd--composed of a motley crew of men and women--inciting them to violence.
Violence erupts when the crowd captures a black man and drags him along the street with a noose around his neck.
Given the frenzy of the mob, police have a hard time restoring law and order and must themselves resort to violence.
