The Colfax Massacre tells the story of the Easter Sunday 1873 murder of more than one hundred and fifty African Americans by rampaging whites in a remote Louisiana hamlet. The Colfax Massacre marked the most deadly incident of racial violence during the era of Reconstruction, and set in motion the triumph of Ku Klux Klan-style violence and intimidation over federal intervention in local Southern race relations until well into the middle of the next century.
