Their new expectations contributed to unrest among citizens in rural Columbia, Tennessee, a seemingly bucolic town with a disturbign racial past.On February 25, 1946, a minor disagreement occurred between a white, politically connected store clerk and a black navy veteran ad his mother, This incidet led to the first race riot in the United States after the war, The riot, which took place in the back section of Colunbia known as Mik Slide, fometed ational outrage and involvement of numerous parties: Thurgood Marshall, Eleaor Roosevelt, The NAACP, The Communist Party, The US Department of Justice. Chaos and legal resolution of the Columbia riot resulted in death, destruction and surprising trial verdicts.
