In July 1964, after a white police officer shot and killed an
African American teenage boy, unrest broke out in Harlem and then
Bedford-Stuyvesant. Protests rose up to call for an end to police
brutality and the unequal treatment of Black people in a city that
viewed itself as liberal. A week of upheaval ensued, including
looting and property damage as well as widespread police violence,
in what would be the first of the 1960s urban uprisings.
Christopher Hayes examines the causes and consequences of the
uprisings, from the city's history of racial segregation in
education, housing, and employment to the ways in which the police
both neglected and exploited Black neighborhoods. While the
national civil rights movement was securing substantial victories
in the 1950s and 1960s, Black New Yorkers saw little or uneven
progress. Faced with a lack of economic opportunities, pervasive
discrimination, and worsening quality of life, they felt a growing
sense of disenchantment with the promises of city leaders. Turning
to the aftermath of the uprising, Hayes demonstrates that the
city's power structure continued its refusal to address structural
racism. In the most direct local outcome, a broad, interracial
coalition of activists called for civilian review of complaints
against the police. The NYPD's rank and file fought this demand
bitterly, further inflaming racial tensions. The story of the
uprisings and what happened next reveals the white backlash against
civil rights in the north and crystallizes the limits of
liberalism. Drawing on a range of archives, this book provides a
vivid portrait of postwar New York City, a new perspective on the
civil rights era, and a timely analysis of deeply entrenched racial
inequalities.
