'I think many troubling aspects of US history are often neglected in the public consciousness. They include the four-day New York City draft riot in 1863, in which white rioters attacked African American workers and their properties; the race riots in Chicago, Illinois, in 1919; and the massacre in Tulsa, Oklahoma, two years later. These are just three examples of events, often catalysed by police inaction, that resulted in the loss of Black lives, livelihoods and homes.'
