What was done by the city of chicago to address the riots, both while
they were occurring and during their aftermath? explain.

The 1919 riot was a violent racial conflict between the white and the black Americans that took place in Illinois, Chicago between 27th July to 3rd August 1919.

During the riots: The "Chicago riot" lasted for a week, during which the 'State of Illinois' deployed nearly '6,000 Illinois Army National Guard troops'. The troops were deployed around the "Black Belt" to prevent any "further white attacks". By the end of 'July 30', most violence had ended. A curfew was imposed by the Mayor on anyone "under the age of 21" and the streets were closed for further transportation. During their aftermath: After the riots were over, a "Chicago Riot Study Committee" was appointed by Mayor Richard J. Daley which was led by notable officers of the state to investigate into the matter for evidence of any conspiracy related to the riots. The riots were followed by an extensive food shortage, and the needs of the city were somehow met by the volunteers who brought food to the area.
