Detroit uprising
Five days of violence left more than 1,400 buildings burned, more than 7,000 people arrested and 43 people dead — 33 African-Americans and 10 whites.
TV sets transported images of cars and buildings engulfed in orange flames and black smoke into American living rooms.
After the uprising, whites and middle-class African-Americans fled the city, leaving poor and working-class African-American families to fend for themselves.

(The Detroit riots) lasted five days and hastened the economic decline of a city already plagued by economic disparities and racial tensions.
The riot started after police raided a nightclub and arrested 82 people.
