Tulsa Race Riot of 1921

Dick Rowland: Young black male riding on Drexel Building with a white operator (Sarah Page) that "claimed" that Rowland grabbed her arm causing people to think that she was in danger because she screamed. In reality the boy accidentally stepped on her foot...  White people were exaggerating with a riot in my opinion but during that time there was many encounters of racism like the ku klux klan so is was a normal thing for them to riot because they wanted to imprison a black man.
But when you come from a black person persecutive they would think "This is a normal thing that the whites are doing but want can I do, if I do something I get prison time regardless of anything" Whites don't understand the position they put them in.

L.A Riots: Rodney King 1991-1992


Around 1991-92 Rodney King, a construction work, was beaten by four police officers while a few others watched on a Los Angeles express way. The officers where trialed and their acquittal, judgment that a person is not guilty of the crime they're being charged of, made the city erupted in excessive violence which killed 50 people and caused $1 billon in damages.
 Rodney didn't want the riots to go on and he wanted everyone to get along.

1967 Newark Riots: Point Of View of The African American Community


Before the riots started the African American community was left out, living in poverty, lack of education and representation, over populated and with racism. They lived like this because they were neglected from jobs/unemployed, inequality and the government wouldn't allow them to live in houses in the suburbs. One of the many factors that triggered the riots was that the people living in the area weren't ready to live with such a race diversity and high population.
