In 1887, Black sugar workers in Louisiana went on strike. Their demand: about $1.25 a day, paid in MONEY, instead of company scrip.
The answer was a massacre.
Ten thousand workers, organized with the Knights of Labor, walked out of the cane fields at harvest. Planters called in the state militia. Then, when the militia withdrew, armed white vigilantes sealed off the town of Thibodaux and went door to door through the Black quarter.
At least thirty-five men, women, and youths were killed; credible estimates run far higher, into the uncounted.
