Red Summer - Bogalusa saw mill killings

Time: Saturday Nov 22, 1919

Place: Bogalusa, Louisiana, U.S.

Details: The Bogalusa saw mill killings was a racial attack that killed four labor organizers on November 22, 1919.

They were supported by the owners of Great Southern Lumber Company, a giant logging corporation, that hoped to prevent union organization and the Black and White labor organizations from merging.
