Fifty years ago this week the despair of a city led to devastation on its streets. In Newark, New Jersey, an unfounded rumor that a man had died in police custody triggered five nights of gunfire, arson and looting that left 26 people dead and neighborhoods in ruins. A half century later, Michelle Miller looks at the legacy of the Newark riots.

@Sara Bennett Sarah, the black community in the 1960's blew up during the summer of 1967 because they were understandably sick and tired of harassment by the police and lacking opportunities of any kind.

@Sara Bennett True. However, the black community needs to understand that perpetrating violence towards innocent people who have nothing to do with the conditions in their community as a means of "revenge" is unacceptable. Like the mayor of Newark said; the tensions that caused the riots in the 1960's had been simmering for years. And just like a pressure cooker; eventually the lid will be blown off by a single catalytic event. In Newark; it was the result of the racial profiling and savage beating of a black taxi driver as well as the subsequent albeit untrue rumor of said taxi driver being killed while in police custody. When the June 1943 riots happened in Detroit; it was the result of a rumor in the black community that two white men shot a black woman and her child before throwing them into the Detroit River. In the white community; the rumor was that two black men raped and beat a white woman. The latter angered the white community to the point where white people essentially declared war and had "open season" on the black community as a means of punishment and as a means of seeking revenge. That was one of the catalysts for the July 1967 riots in Detroit.

@@brianleach5040 When the four police officers in Los Angeles were acquitted of beating Rodney King; one black man outside of the Simi Valley Courthouse ranted about the double standard in the justice system between blacks and whites. He explained to a white woman who confronted him about his opinion that he would be sent to prison if he had beaten her dog the same way those police officers beat Rodney King. Then he talked about how white people are responsible for the problems in the black community. He said that white people have all the economic power and claimed that white people were selling the country to the Japanese.

What’s the legacy of the Newark riots of 1967? Here it is; 1. White flight was accelerated. 2. Stores shut down & never reopened. 3. Jobs left & never came back. 4. The vacuum left by the jobs fleeing was filled with gangs & crime. In 1966, Newark was seen as serious competition for New York City. Today it’s in the top 25 in violent crime & in the top five in car theft. I drive through Newark once a week & see the burned out buildings, gangs, generational welfare, lazy police & lack of opportunity this “rebellion” brought about. One things for sure about Newark; if I’m on Elizabeth Avenue at 2:45 AM & I use an ATM, I’m not worried about racist cops trying to rob me.

Please note that national guard forces dispatched to Newark had no riot control experience or scholarship whatsoever. These units were prepared specifically for action in Vietnam. Fully trained and fully equipped combat formations. Except in Newark, US rifle squad tactics were being applied to American civilians inside the United States.

What’s changed since ‘67? Much of urban America is now run by Black Democrats. But young African American males are still holding responsible law abiding black citizens, including children and other young African American males, hostage in vast swaths of many US cities. That is the “condition” that Lawrence Hamm and Ras Baraka will not deal with.

You sound so ignorant and uneducated by the way you're typing. I doubt you remember that, if it even did happen and your parents are telling their version of the story. The rock is much less harmless than a bullet or a beating, if what you're saying is true I'm sure they had an excellent reason in doing so.
