Description:

Description: Documentation of the aftermath of the Detroit Uprising of 1967, shot by Detroit resident Edsel B. Stallings and/or his family members. Appears to be an assembly of several shorter reels, beginning with damaged buildings and ending with footage possibly shot during the civil unrest.

"The Uprising of 1967 is also known as the Detroit Rebellion of 1967 and the 12th Street Riot. It began following a police raid on an unlicensed bar [located at 12th Street and Clairmount] known locally as a “blind pig.” Over the course of five days, the Detroit police and fire departments, the Michigan State Police, the Michigan National Guard, and the US Army were involved in quelling what became the largest civil disturbance of twentieth century America. The crisis resulted in forty-three deaths, hundreds of injuries, almost seventeen hundred fires, and over seven thousand arrests. The insurrection was the culmination of decades of institutional racism and entrenched segregation."
