World News Outlets Report on 20 Year Anniversary of Crown Heights Pogrom

News outlets worldwide are reporting on the 20th anniversary of the Crown Heights Pogrom. The following is a collection of headlines from both news and opinion sections of the media. While most journalists recognize the nature of the riot – an anti-Semitic, blood libel based pogrom – some, such as Henry Goldschmidt writing for the Huffington Post, have taken to apologizing for the perpetrators of the crime, laying the blame on “pent-up black frustration at white privilege” and the “complexity of race relations in Crown Heights.”
