Additional Details

Several New Jersey riots and uprisings are documented, including 8 photographs of Jersey City and Paterson in August 1964; 8 from the famed Newark uprising of July 1967; and 11 from Asbury Park in July 1970. One shot of Newark has a clear plastic overlay reading "Rumor: Sometimes It Creates Disaster." The initial protests were triggered by rumors that a Black cabdriver had been killed by police--although he had indeed been severely beaten.
