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.

The Newark race riots 50 years on: is the city in danger of repeating the past? At least 26 people died in the rebellion of 1967, which devastated the city for decades.
But as Newark moves on and memory fades, those who remember 1967 worry about losing the connection between oppression then and now G Tuesday 11 July 2017 12.41 BST Last modified on Tuesday 11 July 2017 15.07 BST

In July 1967, Newark erupted with violence after rumors circulated that a black cabdriver had been beaten and killed by white police officers.
He was actually alive — arrested and injured — but for many black residents, it was just another example of Newark’s systemic problems with police abuse, racism, and corruption.
After six days of unrest, 23 people were dead; 725 were injured.
