Original Note:
In 1917 soldiers of the all-black 24th Infantry at Camp Logan marched on Houston after false rumors of the death of Cpl. Charles Baltimore and a coming white mob. While marching, the soldiers shot indiscriminately at houses and cars. 11 civilians and 5 police were killed. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/editorials/article/Mutiny-on-the-bayou-11944252.php https://thehumanist.com/features/articles/houston-riot-1917
