1970 Memorial Park riot
The 1970 Memorial Park riot was a civil disturbance by alienated white youths that began in Royal Oak, Michigan on August 24, 1970 and spread to Birmingham, Michigan, both primarily white middle class suburbs of Detroit. The initial conflict resulted from the closure by police of Memorial Park in Royal Oak. Authorities said that the park was being used as a marketplace for the sale of illegal drugs. The riot lasted for three days, and led to the formation of several youth controlled social service organizations.
==Background==
Memorial Park had become a gathering place for members of the counterculture and radical youths in previous years. In the summer of 1969, a radical youth group called Youth for Peace, Freedom and Justice began holding communal suppers in the park, and also obtained a permit for free film showings in the park, including radical films from the Newsreel Film Collective.
On May 6, 1970, an antiwar demonstration was held at the park that culminated in a march to the local draft board office. A "fist-swinging melee" between police and 100 youths ensued. Five youths were arrested, and a policeman and three protesters were injured.
By the summer of 1970, Memorial Park was well known as a gathering place for alienated youths and street people who often called themselves "freaks". Drug sales, drug use and large parties were commonplace in the park. Officials stated that the youths had a "protective attitude" toward the park and claimed the right to "do their own thing".〔 Fifteen "hippie-garbed" undercover police officers infiltrated the drug scene at the park, documenting illegal drug sales.
