Louisiana 1887 Memorial Committee

On Nov. 23, 1887 armed mobs took to a residential area of Thibodaux, La., where striking black sugar cane workers and their supporters were lodged in various homes, and went on a shooting spree lasting more than two hours. Historical accounts suggest 30 to 60 people were killed. No attempt was ever made to bring the attackers to justice.
