24 June 1969,

An American white police gunned down the 14-year-old black girl Vivian Strong. In an empty house in the city of Omaha, a group of young people danced playing. When the police showed up they ran away and an agent shot them. The murder led to three-day conflicts in the city. The police were acquitted at the trial.
