Citizens wore flu masks in public. Citizens had to have on mask to ride street cars. Some made homemade masks. There were three waves of the virus. The virus took the lives of 750,000 USA citizens.
1918 Flu Pandemic spread worldwide during 1918-1919. In the United States, it was first identified in military personnel in spring 1918. Barbers wore face coverings. People also wore homemade masks.
It is estimated that about 500 million people or one-third of the world’s population became infected with this virus. The number of deaths was estimated to be at least 50 million worldwide with about 675,000 occurring in the United States. In the US, the disease devastated cities, forcing law enforcement to ban public meetings, shut down schools, churches, and theaters, and even stop funerals.

When the 1918 influenza epidemic began its deadly tour across the United States, African Americans were already beset by a host of major public health, medical, and social problems that shaped how they experienced the epidemic and how the epidemic affected them. By 1918, medical and public health reports had documented that African Americans suffered higher morbidity and mortality rates than white people for several diseases. The Atlanta Board of Health, for example, reported in 1900 that the black death rate exceeded that of the white death rate by 69%.2 In an analysis of the 1900 census, W.E.B. Du Bois, the influential sociologist and civil rights activist, found that African American death rates were two to three times higher than for white people for several diseases including tuberculosis, pneumonia, and diarrheal disease. Although African Americans had lower rates for scarlet fever, cancer, and liver disease, Du Bois concluded, “The Negro death rate is, however, undoubtedly considerably higher than the white.”3 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2862340/ Full article Public Health Rep. 2010; 125(Suppl 3): 114–122.

Black Solidarity Day Nov 3, 1969
HISTORY OF THE 1ST BLACK SOLIDARITY DAY 1969
“The first Black Solidarity Day was held on November 3, 1969, against the backdrop of the Black Power Movement and a post-Civil Rights-era America, and it was strategically observed one day prior to Election Day. It was a call to “protest against the intensifying repression that threatens the very existence of black people in America,” stated. Dr. Carlos Russell, an activist, professor, and spokesperson for the Black Solidarity Committee, which was comprised of New York City-based educators, activists, community leaders, and politicians.
On Black Solidarity Day, Black people were asked to stay home, take the day off from work and school, and not shop. The intent was to draw attention to the plight of African Americans who, although having made gains in the Civil Rights Movement, still faced inequality on various socioeconomic levels. Russell extended his accusation of black repression to politicians who ignored the needs of their black constituents.”
