The Silent Parade was a silent protest march of between 8,000 and 10,000 African Americans that started at Fifth Avenue and 57th Street in New York City on July 28, 1917. The purpose of the parade was to protest murders, lynchings, and other violence directed towards African Americans. The parade was precipitated by the East St. Louis riots in May and July 1917, when between 40 and 250 Black people were killed by white mobs.
