...I think we commented earlier in this line (I don't have time to look) about the African-American ghetto riots of the 60s , I meant to say this then ~ Regarding " the blacks rebelling " , my father, who rode the commuter train in from Westchester to Grand Central in NYC every work day, a train which always stops at the Harlem, 125th St., station before or after GC, told me years later that: (1) When Malcolm X was murdered, he was relieved when the (accused, later convicted, IIRC) killer was himself as African-American and, It think, (2) there was some nervousness when the train stopped at 125th whether there would be an invasion of the train! Or maybe after MLK's murder?
I remember being told of MLK's murder by my mother, in the morning, as I readied to go to school (It was in May ~ still school days then?? ~ IIRC). My father, as a TV news business person, was in the Ambassador Hotel in L.A. when Bobby Kennedy was shot, but was on duty taking place of his company (NBC)'s video room (Video rooms and film rooms were separate then .), on another floor, and so did not see the tragedy.
A movie (acted) about the '67 Detroit riots is coming out ~ I saw two recent 50th-anniversary wire-service stories about the Detroit riots in the papers here, a general look back, and a look at how Motown Records, then in their heyday and still located in the Motor City then, was affected.
