I'm old enough to remember and to have been caught in a riot in 1968 in Boston Common. I substituted in riot schools in Boston in the autumn of 1968, until I got a real job.

Lots of people remember, situations like what riots did to Boston in 1968, Hough neighborhood never recovered from busing riots in Cleveland, the list goes on.
