Click Here For Brothers In Arms: How civil rights flowed from a rifle barrel

Reason: Brothers In Arms: How civil rights flowed from a rifle barrel: "At a protest meeting held at Carnegie Hall after the New York City riot, one of the speakers, 'Miss M.R. Lyons of Brooklyn,' told the audience:
Let every negro get a permit to carry a revolver. You are not supposed to be a walking arsenal, but don't you get caught again. Have your houses made ready to afford protection from the fury of the mob, and remembering that your home is your castle and that no police officer has a right to enter it, unless he complies with the usage of the law; see that he does not."
