Síntesis:
Highlights the urban unrest that broke out in response to the conflict between Cleveland police and black nationalists on July 23, 1968, and explores the impact of this event on race relations and civil rights in the United States from the 1960s to today. Examines how Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Cleveland's police, politicians, and the FBI played a role in this conflict, and discusses how police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement parallel this cycle of race-based violence in the present day. Includes black-and-white photographs.
