THE HISTORY OF September 13th, I'm ___________________ .

AND I'm ___________________ . Today in 1971: there is a breakdown in negotiations between officials of New York State's Attica Prison and inmates. The inmates have seized a cell block and taken thirty two guards hostage.

A thousand National Guardsmen, state troopers and local police storm the facility. A rain of bullets slaughters thirty-two of the prisoners and nine of the hostages. Governor Nelson Rockefeller, who has refused to take part in bargaining, supports today's attack.
