White residents of Cotter expel nearly all Blacks in 1906
In 1906, white residents of Cotter (Baxter County) expelled all of the town's Black population, save for a single family of three people. Although the catalyst for this expulsion was a fight between two Black men, local newspapers had been predicting, and even advocating for, such an expulsion long before that fracas occurred.
