The Camp Logan "Riot"

[Bronk]

It should be called the Camp Logan Mutiny. This incident took place in Houston at the time of WWI. One of the men killed, I.D. Raney was the uncle (I believe) of a neighbor of mine. Armed black soldiers marched into the city and indiscriminately fired upon whites, killing 16.

It's a piece of history you should know:

Thanks for the info Bronk! We cannot allow these crimes to be relegated to the dustbin of history.
