Another act of white aggression against Blacks conveniently called race riots happened on June 15 and 16, 1943.

Called the Beaumont Riot of 1943, it was sparked by racial tensions which arose in this Texas shipbuilding center during World War II. The pouring of African-American workers in industrial jobs in the Beaumont shipyard meant white workers now had increased competition in the search of jobs and having the job secured.
