An African American man, Marquette Frye, was pulled over on suspicion of driving while intoxicated. Frye resisted arrest, however it is unclear today whether or not the officer used excessive force to detain him. "The riots resulted in the deaths of 34 people, while more than 1,000 were injured and more than $40 million worth of property was destroyed." -Britannica. The riots lasted for 6 days starting on Aug 11, 1965. There are conflicting opinions about the riots, some believe that it was caused by opportunists who saw a chance to loot, steal, and cause chaos by burning their own neighborhoods. Others believe that the relationship between the police and the citizens in the area had a long history of mistreatment and the Watts riots was simply a breaking point for the community. Still others blamed poverty, as a result, President LBJ declared a war on poverty across America.]]> 2023-05-09 20:23:50 UTC https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2584373013 Saigon, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam jsandoval141 https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2584390325 On april 30,1975 the nva tanks rolled through the gate of the presidential place in saigon which ended up ending the war.The war ended because of the representatives of the united states,north and south vietnam, and the vietcong signed a peace agreement in paris.while the people that broughtthe war to an end were the americans and the north vietname's.]]> 2023-05-09 20:46:43 UTC https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2584390325 Los Angeles, CA Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 amorales82 https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2584392445
The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009 is a law enacted by Congress to bolster worker protections against pay discrimination. The Act allows individuals facing pay discrimination to seek rectification under federal anti-discrimination laws.The Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was an important step forward in the fight to close the gender and racial wage gaps that unfairly hold women, especially women of color, back in the workplace, and it underscored the role that equal pay plays in supporting both working families and our broader economy.

The site held symbolic significance for Native Americans as it was the location of the Wounded Knee Massacre of 1890, where hundreds of Native Americans were killed by the US Army. The protesters' demands included the reopening of treaty negotiations, the investigation of alleged corruption by tribal leaders, and the release of imprisoned AIM members. The protest lasted for 71 days, during which time there were multiple standoffs between the protesters and law enforcement, including the FBI. Two Native American activists were killed and several others were injured. The Wounded Knee occupation drew national attention to the issues facing Native Americans and sparked a wider movement for Native American rights and sovereignty. It also highlighted the ongoing struggles of Native Americans to maintain their cultural identity and sovereignty in the face of continued discrimination and oppression. - Xime]]> 2023-05-10 20:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2586080101 South Africa - 1977 Stephen Biko, an anti-apartheid activist in South Africa, dies while in police custody. xvargas12 https://padlet.com/xvargas12/9modg40p5pjsrwzw/wish/2586081074  In 1977, Stephen Biko, a prominent anti-apartheid activist in South Africa, died while in police custody.
