That's hardly the only one that US public schooling completely avoids teaching about... Tulsa, OK, OK to TN before that, and Wyoming too... the despicably shameful list goes on
but only the third (?) time that US citizens were subject to aerial bombardment … so, um … there’s that?

The only surviving adult MOVE member, Ramona Africa, refused to testify in court and was charged and convicted on charges of riot and conspiracy; she served seven years in prison.
