USA > A history of Fourth of July protests in America – in pictures UK
‘This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn,’ Frederick Douglass lamented 13 years before Reconstruction.
Since the 19th century, abolitionists, suffragists and civil rights activists have seized the Fourth of July as an occasion to protest injustices sustained by those omitted from the founding fathers’ vision.
In the 20th century, the civil rights movement and Vietnam war brought to light legacies of slavery, imperialism and sexism that continue to challenge the narrative of ‘life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness’.
Today, the potency of Black Lives Matter has established civil disobedience as an unwavering American tradition

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/08/
Boston Globe > Big Picture Ferguson Protests USA August 16, 2014
There have been a week of protests, some peaceful and some violent, since the shooting death of Michael Brown, an unarmed black teenager by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo.
The unrest prompted Governor Jay Nixon to declare a state of emergency on Saturday and implement a curfew in the St. Louis suburb.
Tensions had flared Friday after police released the name of the officer who fatally shot Brown and named the teen as a suspect in a convenience store robbery that occurred shortly before he was shot.

leaders call for unity and peace

September 2011
Up to 1,000
mourners joined a cortege through the streets of Tottenham on Friday for the
funeral of Mark Duggan, the man whose shooting by police sparked rioting and
copycat disturbances in towns and cities across England. Reports suggest that Duggan was carrying the converted replica in a sock. But the family say there is no proof of that, and say they've been told that no fingerprints were found on the firearm.

Teargas, developed at Porton Down, was already in use by the Army for riot control when police forces were granted permission to use it in some circumstances.
THE POLICE are to be supplied
with limited amounts of non-toxic tear smoke for use against armed criminals
trapped in a building, Sir Frank Soskice, Home Secretary, announced in the
Commons yesterday.
Our Defence Correspondent
writes: The gas which will be used is the same as that available to the Army
for riot control operations. It is called “CS” and was developed at the Chemical
Defence Experimental Establishment at Porton, Wiltshire.

During the general strike the Prime Minister,
THE Prime Minister broadcast a message to the nation on
Saturday night, in the course of which he said: “I have done my utmost to secure
an agreement on the basis of the Commission’s report, and when the time comes,
as I hope it soon may, to discuss the terms upon which the coal industry is to
be carried on, I shall continue my efforts to see that in any settlement justice
is done both to the miners and the owners. From the Times Archive > On This Day - May 10, 1926, The Times, 10.5.2005, http://www.newsint-archive.co.uk/pages/main.asp

Trades union procession in London
From the Guardian archive
April 26 1834 The Guardian
On Monday last the projected meeting of all the trades' unions
of the metropolis took place for the ostensible purpose of presenting a memorial
addressed to his majesty, praying that he would be pleased to interfere to
prevent execution of the sentence passed on the six men convicted at Dorchester
of administering unlawful oaths.
[In one of its least far-sighted editorial notes, reprinted here on March 29, the Manchester Guardian initially denounced the Tolpuddle martyrs as "mischievous" and hoped their fates might serve as a deterrent to oathing procedures by embryonic Lancashire trade unions. The issue haunted its news columns until the sentences were remitted in 1836].
