Police are on the scene of a stabbing in Crown Heights. | New York Post

In 1991, the streets of Crown Heights, Brooklyn, erupted in one of the most explosive moments of racial tension in New York City's history. What began with a tragic car accident spiraled into days of violence, fueled by long-standing mistrust between Black and Hasidic Jewish residents. The media told one story — but the truth is layered, painful, and still relevant today. This is what really happened during the Crown Heights Riots — and why we need to remember it. #CrownHeights #NYCHistory #Blac
