@liamomaraiv.bsky.social#Leftist #AntiWar activists #SamMelville and #JaneAlpert bombed the offices of the #ArmyInspectorGeneral & #DepartmentOfCommerce on #ThisDayInHistory in 1969. No-one was injured. Melville was later killed by #police whilst incarcerated during the #AtticaPrisonUprising in 1971.
@liamomaraiv.bsky.socialThe #AtticaPrisonUprising began on #ThisDayInHistory in 1971. Over 1,000 prisoners took control of the upstate #NewYork facility and issued demands about proper sanitation and human dignity. Gov. #NelsonRockefeller ordered an assault instead & 39 people were killed by the state.
