“Rock the Casbah” came out in June 11, 1982 by the English punk rock band The Clash. “Rock the Casbah” is the third single on The Clash's fifth album Combat Rock and reached number 8 on the Billboard hot 100 in the U.S. It also reached number 8 on the dance chart.

dangerous, so they show them less respect. “Black people are more likely to be stopped and searched, arrested, and, when taken to court, incarcerated.

Again, foods from local vendors…
