Civil Rights Movement and Urban Violence Today

Veterans of the Civil Rights Movement -- The Urban Uprisings and the Southern Freedom Movement: "On New Year's eve, 2009, Oscar Grant, a young Black man, was apprehended by transit police and then fatally shot in the back while he was laying face-down on a BART station platform. His family and community activists organized a number of protests against his murder and police abuse and brutality in general. Violence, including some arson and looting, broke out at some of those protests despite efforts by organizers and the Grant family and to prevent it."
