Description: On July 12, 50 years ago, no Black Lives Matter movement existed. No one chanted, "Hands up, don't shoot." But the same racial tensions that exist today were even more of a reality. So when police arrested and beat a black cab driver, calls for a peaceful protest were ignored and the city of Newark, New Jersey, was forever changed.
