Black Death Victims

The graves themselves are a monument to the struggle that society faced when an unforeseen catastrophe hit one of the most important cities in the Holy Roman Empire.

The family of Tyre Nichols, a Black man who died after being violently beaten by Memphis police officers, has filed a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against police in the US city, lawyers for his family said Wednesday.

The death of an unarmed African-American man shot by an off-duty white police officer under mysterious circumstances has fueled outrage in Fayetteville, North Carolina, where relatives of the victim are calling for protests Thursday.

His name is chanted by demonstrators around the globe. His face is displayed on murals all over the United States. Since his brutal death George Floyd has embodied, more than any other, the Black victims of police violence and racism in the United States.

A month before Jeffrey Epstein's death by apparent suicide in a New York prison, a federal indictment cast light on what prosecutors said was a sprawling network of high school and college students lined up by young recruiters and then forced to satisfy the hedge fund billionaire's insatiable sexual appetite.

A New York police officer accused of placing a 43-year-old black man in a banned choke hold just before his death in 2014 will not face federal charges, the government said, in a decision slammed by the victim's family as an "insult."

Families of some of the 189 people killed in a Lion Air plane crash plan a protest rally in Indonesia today, while stalled efforts to bring the main wreckage to the surface and find the second black box are set to resume next week.

Corpses, the suspected victims of violent deaths, are wrapped in plastic bags or covered loosely in stained sheets. There is no air conditioning and the room quickly becomes sweltering as the tropical sun beats down on the metal roof. A black fly buzzes around the room amid the smell of decay.

Workers digging a new railway line in London have uncovered what they believe is a burial ground containing victims of the Black Death - a plague that wiped out as much as half of London's inhabitants when it swept the city in the mid-14th century.

Believing that he and his family were victims of black magic, a 30-year-old man here strangled to death his wife and daughter and then set his two other children afire before killing himself early Thursday, police said.
