Walter White faces the mob


In 1906 a race riot shook Atlanta.  Rampaging white mobs went through black neighborhoods attacking African Americans and burning their houses.  The mob threatened Walter White's family home. The thirteen year old Walter and his father stood in the front parlor watching the mob ready to protect their house if needed.  In this over-dramatized account (there was probably no gun) White tries to capture the fear and the racial awareness that the attack caused in him.
