Painting in the National Museum of Ireland of the 1916 Easter Rising.

On April 24, 1916, on Easter Monday in Dublin, the Irish
Republican Brotherhood, a secret organization of Irish
nationalists led by Patrick Pearse, launched the so-called
Easter Rising, an armed uprising against British rule.

Assisted by militant Irish socialists under James Connolly,
Pearse and his fellow Republicans rioted and attacked British
provincial government headquarters across Dublin and seized
the Irish capital’s General Post Office.

James Connolly was the Leader of The Irish
Citizen Army.

The 1967 Detroit Riots were among the bloodiest in American
history. The strife occurred during a period of Detroit’s history
when the once-affluent city was struggling economically, and
race relations nationwide were at an all-time low.
