Discrimination and segregation have long permeated much of American life...

Well then, negros should stop discriminating against everyone else and segregating themselves from civilization.

Allegedly, the police busted an “unlicensed bar”. That was enough.

I think Stevie's "I Was Made to Love Her"* (on the charts at the time of the riot), with Wonder's intense vocal and powerful (enough) beat, matches the riot better than "Dancing..." (which is too mechanical and has been burned to death [no pun intended] anyway).

*Honorable mention to the Tempts' "All I Need", because of *its* beat and frenzy (and the title iykwim, although to be fair, it was out in the spring of '67).
