I was there on the West side of Chicago when it burned. My father was up on the roof of our apt. building wetting it down. We were the last white family in the neighborhood and it was scary. Great tribute to a man of peace.

My wife's family was driven out of Detroit in ‘68. She recalls how the neighbors she thought were her friends turned on them. Yes the riots were certainly about peace and justice.

I was there too where the Puerto Rican riots also took place in that scorching summer of 1968, Damen,Milwakee and North Ave.
Was on streets past curfew imposed by Daley and told by store owner that there was in fact an order to shoot those that would not comply with Police intructions.
