Nearly 30 years later, O.J. Simpson's arrest and murder trial in Los Angeles still evokes strong memories. There was the glove. The Bronco chase. The minute-by-minute national television coverage.
And, for many Americans, Simpson's case will also be remembered for how it exposed the deep divisions between Black and White Americans.
