Today in Labor History April 11, 1981: The Brixton Riots (4/10/81-4/12/81) were occurring in London over racist abuse of black residents by white police. They began in response to the police's increased use of racist stop-and-search practices, and the deaths of 13 black teens and young adults in the suspicious New Cross house fire earlier that year. Over 100 vehicles were burned, including 56 cop cars. As many as 5,000 people participated. No one died, but hundreds were injured, including nearly 280 cops.

The Clash song "The Guns of Brixton" came out in 1979, but its lyrics depict the police abuse that was rampant in the neighborhood. However, several other songs were about the riots, like Black Uhuru's song "Youth of Eglington" (1981) was inspired in part by the Brixton riot, and features lyrics referencing Brixton, Angelic Upstarts’s "Flames of Brixton" (1982), Eddy Grant's "Electric Avenue" (1982) and Linton Kwesi Johnson's poems "New Crass Massahkah" and "Di Great Insoreckshan" (1984).

Today In Labor History April 11, 1964: Over 200 were arrested during a NAACP protest at San Francisco’s Auto Row, on Van Ness Street, over their refusal to hire African American workers. Thousands of protesters, of all ethnicities, occupied car showrooms and blockaded the street. The protests lasted throughout much of March and April and ended with the dealerships ending their racist ban. Later, on this same date in 1968, while the riots over Martin Luther King Junior’s assassination were winding down, the federal government enacted the Civil Rights Act of 1968, which provided protections against discrimination in housing and against hate crimes. The law also made it a crime to cross state lines, or to use the mail (later internet), to “incite riots.”

Today In Labor History April 11, 1986: 17 were arrested on felony riot charges after police tear-gassed striking Hormel meatpacking workers in Austin, Minn. The following day, 6,000 people demonstrated against Hormel and the police (nearly one-third of the city’s entire population). The strike (August 17, 1985 – September 13, 1986) was eventually suppressed by Hormel, with the collaboration of the state, and the workers’ own union.

⚡️2XKO added Akali, now the fastest fighter in the roster, and a new local two‑player mode for couch matches. 🥷

Akali is adapted from League of Legends and reworked for fighters: built for rapid closes and nonstop pressure, relatively low HP offset by extreme mobility and a smoke veil that buffs grounded attacks and lets her phase through opponents for surprise combo plays. The local mode runs in casual matches on one device and rewards...

Today in Labor History April 2, 1863: Bread riots occurred in Richmond, Virginia, as a result of a drought the previous year, combined with a blockade by the Union Army and overall Civil War-related shortages. Food riots occurred throughout the South around this time, led primarily by women. During the Richmond riot, women broke into storehouses and shops, stealing food, clothing and jewelry before the militia was able to restore order.
