"The Arkansas race riot at Elaine and Hoop Spur, Arkansas, September 30th, Oct. 1, 2, & 3, 1919. The result of which scores of Negroes killed by white rioters, 5 white men alleged to have been killed by Negroes; a half million dollars worth of Negroes' cotton stolen, 75 Negroes in penitentiary for 21 years, 12 Negroes sentenced to death--not a single white man arrested! This book shows the riot was a conspiracy by the white men to take the Negroes' cotton and not a conspiracy by Negroes to kill white people"--Back cover
