Montgomery Riverfront brawl was an evil scene
#Montgomery Riverboat Brawl#Alabama folding chair#Alabama dock brawl
Black men and women at the riverfront dock in Montgomery, Alabama demonstrated a display of fierce resistance to White racism on Saturday that has become an important moment in U.S. history.

The violent reaction of White Alabamians who decided to brutally beat a Black city worker after he told them to move their boat represents more than an isolated incident. It reflects a crystal clear example of how the history and structure of systemic racism continues to impact this country nearly 60 years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s March on Washington.

The viral response from Black men and women, some of them literally swimming to the rescue, ignites a sense of pride and power in a people who are used to their pain, trauma and suffering being front and center.

Countless caricatures of the riverfront altercation have sprung up online, with some calling the Black men and women who aided the city worker heroes in the vein of Aquaman and Black Panther. Yet the possibility that the White mob of marauders could have stolen the Black city worker’s life echoes a much harsher reality illuminated by recent history in Montgomery.

Following the end of the Civil War and chattel slavery, Southern states adopted new rules of Jim Crow to police Black people through threat of imprisonment or death. Racial terror lynchings, however, represented a more sinister form of intimidation that was sanctioned by the fabricated social order.
