Let's get started
Hello - For whatever reason, this page popped up in my feed. I'm all about it! I propose we model it after History of African Americans in Chicago. Structurally, this is a very good article and I think an historically-important city like Austin could use one of similar quality. KhiVoh (talk) 23:41, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
Some racial incidents
I was listening to a podcast that mentioned some racial incidents in Austin's history.[1] 1906 Streetcar Boycott.[2] The 1919 attack on John Shillady, who was the NAACP Executive Secretary. There was another I'm missing. And there's the 2020 protests, which results in multiple protesters being shot by the police with "less than lethal" rounds.[3]
