hough I was just a preteen
growing up in Dallas in
1967, I remember watch-
ing the Detroit riots on television.
I knew what it was like, from the
assassination of President John F.
Kennedy in 1963, to have the
world focused on your own back
yard.
These are events that make a
lifelong impression.
On the 35th anniversary of the
Detroit riots of 1967, Staff Writers
Harry Kirsbaum and Sharon
Luckerman explore the impact the
riots had on Jewish Detroiters and
the memories of that troubled time
that still linger.

niscences, see the JN Online Web
