Abstract: We use a newly developed household-level measure of residential segregation (Logan and Parman 2017) which can distinguish between the effects of increasing racial homogeneity of a location and the tendency to segregate within a location given a particular racial composition to review the evidence of changes in segregation over time. This household-measure of segregation reveals high levels of Southern segregation and rising levels of segregation in not only cities but in rural communities as well over the first half of the twentieth century. We review new evidence that this segregation was highly correlated with interracial violence in the form or lynchings. We conclude with a discussion of the interaction between residential segregation, racial animosity, and violence.
