July '64
Description
The night of July 24th, 1964 started off normally enough in Rochester, New York, but by the next morning no one would look at race relations in the North the same way again. This program takes a penetrating look at the underlying causes of the urban insurrections that swept through African-American communities in the 1960s, beginning with the 1964 Rochester race riot. Interviews with several participants reveal regret mixed with a continued frustrated about the discriminatory practices and poor living conditions that led to the civil unrest.
