Summary "Mob Rule in New Orleans" by Ida B. Wells-Barnett is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work details the brutal events surrounding the lynching of Robert Charles following his attempted arrest by police officers, which led to widespread mob violence against the Black community in New Orleans. The author meticulously compiles reports and testimonies to expose the rampant injustice and barbarism faced by African Americans, illustrating the societal indifference that allows such atrocities to occur. The opening of the work sets the stage by recounting the violent confrontation between Robert Charles and police officers, starting with an unprovoked attack by the police while Charles was simply conversing with a friend. Charles, knowing the dire consequences he could face, used deadly force in self-defense, resulting in his status as a fugitive. The chaos escalates into a manhunt sanctioned by local authorities, and the narrative describes the ensuing racial violence and mob rule that targeted innocent Black individuals, showcasing the terrifying aftermath of a single incident of lawful resistance that spiraled into a community-wide tragedy.
