It was a black day and a bloody day in July 1918 when the Bolsheviks murdered the Romanovs who they held imprisoned in Ekaterinburg. Just been listening to a podcast about this on BBC History - and I‘ve read the tagged book which was fascinating.

“Because we are poor, shall we be vicious?”

This quote opens the tagged book that starts in the ‘30‘s and ends with the Detroit riot. The quote is also a part of The White Devil by John Webster.

Day 18 - #blackdayinjuly #timbittunes

Black day in July
Motor city madness has touched the countryside
And through the smoke and cinders
You can hear it far and wide
The doors are quickly bolted
And the children locked inside
Black day in July
Black day in July
And the soul of Motor City is bared across the land
As the book of law and order is taken in the hands
Of the sons of the fathers who were carried to this land
Black day in July

#BlackDayInJuly times three, this is one of the myriad of books published about the battle that arguably turned the ties of the American Civil War. I‘ve yet to read Sears‘ book, but can say that I‘ve had to replace copies of it over the years in my library system (which is in Gettysburg, hence the extreme popularity). #TimbitTunes

July 14th, 1789 was a #blackdayinJuly for France!

Anyone who has read this book will be impressed that when I went to take this picture I managed to open it on July 13th, 1789! It's a #chunkster @Cinfhen
