Police Open Fire as 50,000 Protest Outside Pretoria L.A. Times Archives Nov. 21, 1985 12 AM PT https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-11-21-mn-2106-story.html https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1985-11-21-mn-2106-s... Makes me recall a similar story happening in our times in the world. The headline does not mention "Black". [Security force] indiscriminately is killing. World says nothing.
