The riots that happened in the 1960's came after the racial inequalty fight. These Riots was when Afrian Americans figured out that their was another inequality that was biger and and it involved economics and alittle racail differences. Mostly these riots were between Afrian American people and white Police officials. A official pulled over a young man for dunk driving and it turned into a big event and the official called for back up. This made a riot and the officials arrested more than the young man that day. Officials always tried to out number it the could or at lest tryed to stay in control. Some cops Stated that they felt that it was their job to keep white communities white. Housing was another alone with jobs. Afrian Americans got the salty end of the lollypop. NOT the sweet end. They were the last hired and the first fired. Making a large number for unimployed African Americans. Housing was also hard. Willie Mays (baseball's greatist center fielder) was rejected from renting a home that he wanted, until the Mayor PUBLICLY invited Willie to stay as a guest until it was resolved. Kids got so fusturated that they would start vandizing. They were the riots in Plainfield. Some went far as stealing

guns and getting arm. the last main fact is that the movement from the cities and to the sub. did not help. riots started breaking out in the north which did not happen much in the past.
