  The film mentioned in the article, titled ROSEWOOD, is actually pretty good. I saw it back when it came out on cable and learned that “race riots” like this were actually a thing in America back then and happened more often than we like to admit. 
  They took a few liberties with history in order to make a more compelling movie (like creating Ving Rhames’ character to give the audience a surrogate) but also consulted living survivors to include little known details too. The ending was pretty rough, as I recall, as they allege that many more than just six black people died in the violence, including children.
  Edit: a letter
context: MAGA is steering us right back into the old days.
