Comments

“In Princess Anne, MD, a fight between a white man
and a Negro over the right of Negroes to congregate
in white business communities on Saturday night
resulted in a riot; 300 Negroes were driven from
town.”
“The Chronological History of the Negro in America”,
Bergman, Peter M. and Mort N. Bergman, 1969
