Fujita covered the riots on the ground, and at considerable risk to himself. He captured the raw violence against African Americans and the destruction of lives. These images were digitized from negatives and are presented here courtesy of the Chicago History Museum, which holds the Jun Fujita negatives collection, donated to the museum by Mrs. Florence Carr Fujita in 1964.
