My parents were some of the first occupants of the Hayes Home Housing Projects located on 17th Avenue in Newark New Jersey. I witnessed first hand the 1967 Newark Riots from beginning to end.
I am nearly 50 years of age now and remember vividly those weeks of change for an entire community that would profoundly change its history.
It bothers me that there is very little mentioned about the riots. Many people died during that time of revolt. Was it all futile? What can future generations learn from Riots?
I would like to log what happend from my prospective only!
If you experienced the riots in any way feel free to comment!
