"We used to have a whole com­
muni ty here," aid Doris McCol­
lum, 67, who has lived in the
neighborhood since 1947. "Now
you have to go all the way out of the
city to get anything. Only thing
around here is liquor stores."
The city'. population has fallen
from 1.5 million in 1967 to 1 million
in 1990. The number of blacks has
risen from 40 percent to 75.7 percent
of the population in the ame period.
"Now people don't have job,
and the young people ... feel like
they're part of the have-not CIMS in

for them getting out of thi cate-

to �other riot. . - I J. The riot bCI'M the nipt at'July
23, 1967, when police raided an af­
ter-bours bar in a poor black neigh­
borhood.
Someone threw a bottle through
the rear wimow of a police car, am
tbe riot was on. Neady all the busi­
nes on nearby 12th Street were
robbed and burned. Looting soon
spread to other parts of the city.
Most agree the violence was
fueled by anger at the police, who
had a reputation for brutality and ra­
cism, and frustration with tbe sys­
tem.
"I remember as a young person
back then, on many oeceslons the
police would stop me for no reason.
... There was a real fear of the police
and a real tension," said Wayne
County Commi stoner Bernard
Parker, who is Black.
The riots paved the way for the
1973 election of Coleman Young as
Detroit's first black mayor. High on
his agenda was integrating the police
force.
Young is still mayor, and the
department is 56 percent Black,
compared with about 5 percent
Black in 1967. It is the mo t inte­
grated police force in the country,
said Bob Berg, Young's spokesman.

"We're going to have some
trouble on our hands tbat will make
tbe trouble of '67 seem like a very
mild body count" if the city doesn't
make educating Black youth a prior­
i ty, said the Rev. William Cunning­
ham, executive director of the civil
rights organization Focus:HOPE.
"We're looking at the induction
of Black society into the never-never
land of 00 hope," he said.
Experts say the economic situ­
ation is far worse for Blacks today
than in 1967, when jobs in tbe au10
plants were readily available.
According to the Michigan Em­
ployment Security Commission, the
unemployment rate for blacks in De­
troitwas 23.2 percent in 1991, com­
pared wi th 11.9 percent for
non-whites in 1970, the earliest for
which statistics are available.
The unemployment rate for
Black teen-agers was 44 percent in
1991, compared with 41.1 percent in
1970.
The high unemployment rate is
partly due to tbe post-riot flight of
bus.inesses am people from Detroit.
In 1967, 17,138 businesses filed tax
returns with the city of Detroit, com­
pared with 8,035 in 1990, according
to the Citizens Research Council of
Michigan.
