Description
In the summer of 1967, the arrest and fatal beating of an African-American cab driver in Newark, New Jersey, led to a six-day riot in which 23 people were killed and more than 700 were injured. High unemployment rates among black youth, tense relations with the police, and gentrification (which many African Americans saw as an attempt at outright removal), all contributed to the riots.
