In 1999, the stories of three horrific acts of violence haunted the country: the murder of Amadou Diallo in New York City, the murder of Brandon Teena in Nebraska, and the Columbine school shooting in Colorado. These murders were all perpetrated by groups of white men and presaged the violence that would become a part of daily life for Americans: epidemics of police violence, violence against LGBTQ people, and mass shootings.
It's easy to forget it wasn't always like this.
