BRIEF RETROSPECT ON HUMAN RIGHTS
1901-1913
Dayton police adopted the Bertillon identification system for criminals in 1902. This system recorded body measurements as well as mental and moral qualities. A similar system would be used during the 1930s in Germany to determine "Racial Purity."
Whites rioted against black inhabitants in Springfield, Ohio. Militia units were called in to stop the violence in March 1906.
In 1907 the U.S. passed laws to restrict immigration.
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) was founded in the United States in 1909. |
