A couple and child walking through the aftermath of the Crown Heights riots of 1991 on the streets of Brooklyn, NYC.

The Crown Heights riot was a
race riot that took place from August 19 to 21, 1991, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York City. Black residents turned against Orthodox Jewish Chabad residents, resulting in a deterioration of already tense racial relations in the densely populated community. The riots began on August 19, 1991, after two children of Guyanese immigrants were accidentally struck by a car running a red light while following the motorcade of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of Chabad, a Jewish religious movement. One child died and the second was severely injured.

In the wake of the fatal accident, some black youths attacked several Jews on the street, seriously injuring several and fatally injuring an Orthodox Jewish student from Australia. Two weeks after the riot, a non-Jewish man was killed by a group of black men; some believed that the victim had been mistaken for a Jew. The riots were a major issue in the 1993 mayoral race, contributing to the defeat of Mayor David Dinkins, an African American. He was blamed for an ineffective police response.

Ultimately, black and Jewish leaders developed an outreach program between their communities to help calm and possibly improve racial relations in Crown Heights over the next decade.

You would think that dueling was an outdated ritual consigned to the 19th century, something that no longer had a place in modern world. However, well into the 20th century official duels were taking place, one of the last between French politicians Gaston Defferre and Rene Ribiere in 1967. Yes, at the same time the Vietnam War was raging, rock and roll was taking the world by storm, and men were exploring space, two Frenchmen decided to settle their differences with a good old fashioned duel.

I saw this earlier today and was blown away.

Seeing it adds a texture to my own conception of the past.

Too often in our fictional media like movies or TV when it's time to turn to the ancient world we generalize alot but more, we tend to not understand how much we have in common with those times. Looking at those pictures and honestly Times Square comes to mind.

My mother's grandmother used to make her own cheese.

We don't know actually how old my dad was when he died because he was registered years later. To do so my grandfather had to borrow his mother's horse to ride to the nearest place with government offices.

And now... Here I am conversing with people all over the world via a planetary computer network.
