The Chicago Race Riot of 1919, the most intense of the riots comprising the nation’s Red Summer, has shaped the last century but is not widely discussed. In 1919 , award-winning poet Eve L.

Ewing uses speculative and Afrofuturist lenses to recast history, and illuminates the thin line between the past and the present.
