The riot of 1935....was started by the fact that a young boy...of the age of 12 went into a store and stole a piece of candy from the store.the news went around saying that he was beaten by the store owner in his basement which caused a crowd of black residents to surround the store in anger. A woman was the one who claimed that he was being beaten in thr basement by the owner and when it was shown that employee was bitten by the kid it confirmed her ztort thus starting the spark for the riot. actuality in turn it was the rumors of falsehood which is to blame becuase the kid actually was apprehend by the police and later released in part the officals were unable to tell the crowd of what really happened...that being the real cause of the riot
