All Those US Riots
Zoot Suit 1943 riots in LA link
Closing Thought–03Jun20
Now would be a good time for the old professor to interject some history into the news of the riots….what better time to learn some history if you are staying indoors….
There have been many riots over the years here in the good old USA….Haymarket, Watts, Tulsa, Detroit and so forth….let’s put them into context…..
