Interesting. I served with an old time warrant officer who said there were massive race riots at some army posts in the 70's, but the military did their best to cover them up.

Had big racial set-to on my aircraft carrier around 1961. Occurred in a fairly empty hanger bay and lasted for a couple of hours, while all hatches from the HB were secured and they were allowed to fight it out.
Lots of minor injuries, but no deaths. ....Was also hushed up by the brass, even though one (maybe two) of the black instigators were “lost overboard” at night within a couple of days.
