  • The Crown Heights riot was a race riot that took place from August 19 to August 21, 1991, in the Crown Heights section of Brooklyn, New York City. Black residents attacked orthodox Jewish residents, damaged their homes, and looted businesses. The riots began on August 19, 1991, after two children of Guyanese immigrants were accidentally struck by a car running a red light while following the motorcade of Rebbe Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the leader of Chabad, a Jewish religious movement. One child died and the second was severely injured. In the immediate aftermath of the fatal accident, Black youths attacked several Jews on the street, seriously injuring several and fatally injuring an Orthodox Jewish student from Australia. Over the next three days, the rioters looted stores and attacked Jewish homes. Two weeks after the riot, a non-Jewish man was killed by a group of Black men; some believed that the victim had been mistaken for a Jew. The riots were a major issue in the 1993 mayoral race, contributing to the defeat of Mayor David Dinkins, an African American. Opponents of Dinkins said that he failed to contain the riots, with many calling the riot a "pogrom" to emphasize what they said was the role of the New York City government in the riots. Ultimately, Black and Jewish leaders developed an outreach program between their communities to help calm and possibly improve racial relations in Crown Heights over the next decade. (en)
  • Des émeutes à caractère racial ont eu lieu en 1991 à Crown Heights, dans l'arrondissement de Brooklyn, à New York. Elles ont abouti à la mort d'un étudiant juif et sont considérées comme « l'un des plus graves incidents antisémites dans l'histoire des États-Unis. ». À cette époque, la population du quartier était composée d'environ 180 000 Afro-Américains dont une partie originaires des Caraïbes, et d'une minorité d'environ 20 000 Juifs (soit environ 11 % de la population), principalement des Loubavitchs. La communauté juive considère ces émeutes comme un pogrom. (fr)
