    A party on July 23, 1979, was held on 12th Street at an illegal after hours club for two veterans who had just returned from service in Vietnam. Racial tensions ran high between police and African-American residents in the area. Police waited outside the establishment, which gathered a crowd of nearly 200 onlookers. The crowd threw bottles at the police, one of which broke through the window of a patrol car. A small riot erupted and the police fled as thousands more people flowed into the streets. The crowd began looting and ransacking businesses. The first fire erupted at 6:30am and every member of the fire and police departments were called to duty. The National Guard and U.S. Army were sent to end the disturbance. The rioting continued for four days and by the end, over 7,000 people had been arrested, many were injured, and 43 people were killed. Thousands of stores had been looted and burned, leaving thousands of people homeless.

    Name Meaning

    English, Scottish, and Irish: generally a nickname referring to the color of the hair or complexion, Middle English br(o)un, from Old English brūn or Old French brun. This word is occasionally found in Old French, Middle English and Old Norse as a personal name or byname (Middle English personal name Brun, Broun, ancient Germanic Bruno, Old English Brūn, or possibly Old Norse Brúnn or Brúni). Brun- was also an ancient Germanic name-forming element. Some instances of Old English Brūn as a personal name may therefore be short forms of compound names such as Brūngar, Brūnwine, etc. As a Scottish and Irish name, it sometimes represents a translation of Gaelic Donn (see below). Brown (including in the senses below) is the fourth most frequent surname in the US. It is also very common among African Americans and Native Americans (see also 5 below).

    Irish and Scottish: adopted for Ó Duinn (see Dunn ) or for any of the many Irish and Scottish Gaelic names containing the element donn ‘brown-haired’ (also meaning ‘chieftain’), for example Donahue .

    Irish: phonetic Anglicization of Mac an Bhreitheamhnaigh; see Breheny .
