1968 about Chicago riots.
And Watts in 66 as well as Detroit (68ish), Kent State, Jackson State (1970). Riots that went bad and probably a single event or two triggered the escalation.

A little known...or forgotten.... fact is that Nick Saban was on the football team & he & 2 of his roommates had planned on going to see the protestors. Specifically, to the area where the National Guard shot & killed protesters. One of his roommates changed his mind & didn't want to go, so all 3 bailed. Such is history.
