HARLAN BOZEMAN – OUT THE E

Posted on 2024-08-26

Out the E is a photographic project about the rural Arkansas Delta town of Elaine. In 1919, as cotton prices skyrocketed, Black sharecroppers—trapped in a vortex of debt and underpayment—began to organize for better conditions and fair payment. On September 30, a meeting of these farmers was disrupted by several white men, one of whom was killed. Hours later, spurred on by a “Black insurrection,” a white mob—including federal troops—descended on the area. Two days later, more than 500 Black people were killed in what is considered to be the deadliest racial conflict in the U.S.
