But as news anchors described the scene as “unimaginable,” I realized the surge of enraged violence was a scene I’d spent months imagining and have mentally revisited over the past 15 years. I researched and wrote about a gruesome chapter in Atlanta’s history the 1906 Atlanta Race Riot during which 5,000 white men and boys rampaged through downtown Atlanta, destroying Black businesses and homes and killing Black
