Apartheid. USA 1988

December 24, 1986:

In Selma, Alabama, some 100 blacks who live outside the city in small, gray structures that have no running water and rent for 40 dollars a month are to move into Government subsidized housing at Craig Field, formerly a World War II Air Force base until it was closed in 1977. T H Willis, a white storekeeper who has owned the homes for about 10 years, reacted angrily when asked about the impending move. He said most of the tenants owed him money for purchases made at his store for credit.^10.

National civil rights leaders and other prominent blacks are citing the Howard Beach incident as the latest in a growing list of incidents involving racial violence and intimidation not only against Blacks, but also against members of other minorities. They cited as examples an assault by a gang of white men in Boston on two Cambodian refugees, injuring one of them fatally. They named an incident in Camden, New Jersey, in which a white youth in a car ran down a 7-year-old Hispanic boy, fatally injuring the child.^11.
