1949 anti-communist race riots against African Americans and Jews
The Peekskill riots took place at Cortlandt Manor, New York in 1949.[1] The catalyst for the rioting was an announced concert by black singer Paul Robeson, who was well known for his strong pro-trade union stance, civil rights activism, communist affiliations, and anti-colonialism. The concert, organized as a benefit for the Civil Rights Congress, was scheduled to take place on August 27 in Lakeland Acres, just north of Peekskill.[2]
