I was watching espns 30 for 30 tonight, the episode about the University of Miami football program. I had it on in the background and was only half paying attention but I was thunderstruck by the brief mention of the 1980 murder of a black man, Arthur McDuffie, by Miami police officers, the subsequent Not guilty verdict clearing the officers of all charges, and the ensuing protests and riots that broke out. Having never heard of this history, I looked it up on youtube. I implore you to watch Parts I, Ii, and III ( I was unable to find Part IV). The similarities to our current climate are staggering.
