President Obama was in Dallas today to mourn the deaths of five police officers.

Last week's shooting and the deaths of African American men in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Falcon Heights, Minnesota has left some speculating about similarities between what's happening now and what happened a half century ago during the civil rights movement.

• Tyree Boyd-Pates, professor of African American studies at Cal State Dominguez Hills
