Description:In July of 1967, Detroit police raided a blind pig on the notorious 12th Street and triggered the biggest riot in American history. Why Detroit? There were 300 riots between the East coast riots of 1964 and the Detroit riot in 1967. Summer after long hot summer, American cities were being put to the torch. As the flame of rebellion spread across the country, one city magically seemed to be getting skipped.Detroit was the greatest industrial city the world had ever seen. Its promise was so great and automotiveemployment so massive, it triggered the largest demographic change to date. The Civil Rights Movement created great expectations but its hard-fought gains were too slow in coming and the economic gains were not proportional to the social advancements. As decades of lingering ghetto frustrations mounted, peaceful civil rights demonstrations were replaced by urban riots.Book details the making of Detroit by the automotive pioneers, the saga of Black Bottom/Paradise Valley (Detroit's original black ghetto), the massive 1943riot and the 1950s, a time of change. The Great Rebellion was Detroit's defining moment. The Vietnam War together with the Civil Rights Movement and the urban riots, represented three monstrous rogue social waves which would all meet up in the mid 1960s to form the perfect wave of tumult - a tsunami that covered the country,leaving it submerged in racial and generational hatred. Book also chronicles the numerous riots that preceded Detroit, namely: Harlem in 64', Watts in 65', Hough in 66' and Newark in 67' as well as a detailed examination of how these riot cities fared in the years directly after the riot and how they are today.
