The Detroit Riot of 1967
(During the last week in July, 1967, Detroit experienced a...)
During the last week in July, 1967, Detroit experienced a week of terror--the worst civil disorder in 20th century urban America. 43 persons were killed, over $50 million in property was destroyed, and the city itself was left in a state of panic and confusion from which it has not yet fully recovered. Here, for the first time, is the story of that terrible experience--an hour by hour account of the looting, arson, gun-sniping; the problems faced by the police, National Guard and Federal troops who struggled to restore order; the incredible problems faced by the courts; and the response of the community: the press, social and religious agencies, civic and political leadership. Here, also, is the story of the aftermath of Detroit's upheaval: the attempt of white leadership to forge a new alliance with a rising, militant black community, the shifts in political perspectives within the black community itself, and the growing polarization of black and white sentiment in a city that had been pointed to nationally as a "model community in race relations." In addition, this book also explores... the plight of "moderate" black leadership, the impact and influence of militant perspectives, their rhetoric of "rebellion" and "revolution," the growing apathy toward integration and the explosive issue of "police-community relations." It offers observations on the problems of the police system and substantive suggestions on redefining urban law enforcement in American society. "....This book is, in a sense, deeply personal; it grew out of the desire, in fact the compelling urgency, of a life-long Detroiter who loves his city with all its grandeur and misery... to assess the experiences of July 23-31, 1967, and to find their significance for the nation's fifth largest city. This book is necessarily, therefore, one man's opinion.... It reflects, however, a deeply held conviction: that Detroit, and every other city in America is in a race with time--and thus far losing the battle."
