Defending Home and Hearth: Walter White Recalls the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot

The riots that broke out between 1898 and 1906 were part of a pattern of anti-black violence that included several hundred lynchings each year. One of the most savage race riots in these years erupted in Atlanta on September 22, 1906 after vague reports of African Americans harassing white women. Over five days at least ten black people were killed while Atlanta’s police did nothing to protect black citizens, going so far as to confiscate guns from black Atlantans while allowing whites to remain armed. In this selection from his memoirs, Walter White, the future head of the NAACP recalled how, at age 13, he and his father defended their home from white rioters.

Wonders of Math – The Game of Life

The Game of Life (or simply Life) is not a game in the conventional sense. There are no players, and no winning or losing.
