#NewportRaceRiots1919

1. Here's what's happened on the first day of the #CardiffRaceRiots:

Wednesday 11th June 1919 was the hottest day of the year☀️. At 10pm 🕙 a group of people in vehicle on #EastCanalWharf near #CustomHouseStreet. 2. The vehicle had a number of people in there. There were men of colour and their white wives. It got a considerable amount of attention from a group of white men on the street when it reached Cahanal Parade Bridge. A police constable arrived at the scene

#CardiffRaceRiots1919

More on last night, according to the #SouthWalesEcho 🔊:

1. Crowds numbering thousands gathered on St. Mary St, Custom House, The Hayes, and ‘the top end of Bute-road’. This area of town was cordoned off ⚠️, and only business-owners were allowed to pass. 2. ‘The police were in strong force at all the danger points particularly at the entrances in the quarter where negroes reside’

That’s really cool?
