  • The 1967 Newark riots were an episode of violent, armed conflict in the streets of Newark, New Jersey, United States. Taking place over a four-day period (between July 12 and July 17, 1967), the Newark riots resulted in at least 26 deaths and hundreds more serious injuries. Serious property damage, including shattered storefronts and fires caused by arson, left much of the city's built environment damaged or destroyed. At the height of the conflict, the National Guard was called upon to occupy the city with tanks and other military equipment, leading to iconic media depictions that were considered particularly shocking when shared in the national press. In the aftermath of the riots, Newark was quite rapidly abandoned by many of its remaining middle-class and affluent residents, as well as much of its white working-class population. This accelerated flight led to a decades-long period of disinvestment and urban blight, including soaring crime rates and gang activity. The Newark riots represented a flashpoint in a long-simmering conflict between elements of the city's then-growing African-American population, which had recently become a numerical majority, and its old political establishment, which remained dominated by members of white ethnic groups (especially Italian, Jewish, and Irish Americans) who had gained a political foothold in Newark during earlier generations. Endemic corruption in local government, combined with widespread racial prejudice, likely contributed to the city's failure, during the leadup to 1967, to include a more representative cross-section of the city's black population in its political power structure. Additionally, the Newark Riots were part of a larger national phenomenon, being among more than 150 race riots that occurred in the United States in the "Long Hot Summer of 1967". Some historians, focusing on the protest element of the conflict, have termed it the 1967 Newark Rebellion. (en)

  • Le rivolte di Newark del 1967 furono una delle 159 rivolte razziali che coinvolsero diverse città degli Stati Uniti in quella che venne definita dai giornali la "". La rivolta avvenne nella città di Newark, New Jersey tra il 12 ed il 17 luglio, 1967. I 4 giorni di rivolta provocarono la morte di 26 persone e centinaia di feriti gravi. Furono riportati gravi danni alle proprietà, tra cui vetrine in frantumi e incendi dolosi, lasciando danneggiata o distrutta una gran parte della città. Al culmine del conflitto, la Guardia Nazionale fu chiamata a controllare la situazione con l'impiego di carri armati e altri mezzi militari, portando ad immagini che furono considerate particolarmente scioccanti quando apparvero sulla stampa nazionale. All'indomani delle rivolte, Newark fu rapidamente abbandonata da molti residenti della classe media e benestante, così come da gran parte della sua popolazione bianca della classe operaia. Questa fuga accelerata ha portato a un periodo di decenni di disinvestimento e di degrado urbano, compreso l'aumento del tasso di criminalità e dell'attività delle gang. I disordini rappresentarono il culmine di un conflitto che si protraeva da tempo tra elementi dell'allora crescente popolazione afroamericana della città, che era recentemente diventata una maggioranza numerica, e il suo vecchio establishment politico, che rimaneva dominato da membri di gruppi etnici bianchi (specialmente italiani, ebrei e irlandesi americani) che avevano guadagnato un punto d'appoggio politico a Newark durante le generazioni precedenti. La corruzione endemica nel governo locale, combinata con il diffuso pregiudizio razziale, ha probabilmente contribuito all'impossibilità, prima del 1967, di includere uno spaccato più rappresentativo della popolazione nera della città nella sua struttura di potere politico.
