1964 Philadelphia race riot
The Philadelphia race riot took place in the predominantly black neighborhoods of North Philadelphia from August 28 to August 30, 1964. Tensions between black residents of the city and police had been escalating for several months over several well-publicized allegations of police brutality.〔Nicole Maurantonio, “Standing By: Police Paralysis, Race, and the 1964 Philadelphia Riot,” ''Journalism History,'' 38 (Summer 2012), 110–21.〕
This riot was one of the first in the civil rights era and followed race riots in Rochester, New York and New York City.
==Background==
In 1964, North Philadelphia was the city's center of African American culture, and home to 400,000 of the city's 600,000 black residents.〔(Doing No Good ) Time Magazine〕 The Philadelphia Police Department had tried to improve its relationship with the city's black community assigning police to patrol black neighborhoods in teams of one black and one white officer per squad car and having a civilian review board to handle cases of police brutality.〔
Despite the improvement attempts of the Philadelphia Police Department, racial tensions had been high in Philadelphia over the issue of police brutality. The Philadelphia Tribune, the city’s black newspaper, ran several articles on police brutality which often resulted in white policemen who were brought up on charges of brutality being acquitted.〔(No Other Life )〕 The summer of 1964 however was at the peak of the civil rights movement with rioting breaking out in black areas of other northern cities such as New York, Rochester, Jersey City and Elizabeth〔 caused by incidents relating to police brutality against black citizens.
