In the summer of 1971, two of Harlem’s most dangerous gangs were hours away from a confrontation that the police had failed to stop and that everyone in the neighborhood knew would end in bloodshed.

Eight British royal tiaras that are hidden in the royal vaults who once wore them. Some of the most powerful royal tiaras were never meant to dazzle crowds.
