Talk:1967 Newark riots
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I was the youngest of seven children. The Newark riots started the day after my fourth birthday. There is something although insignificant to some it was very powerful in my conscientiousness. We lived on the fifth floor in the Scudder Home Projects which were located not far from Springfield Ave. I remember my mother turning the kitchen table on its side and making the smallest of us get behind it. To hear the noise was deafening, but to watch from the side of the table and see what I would now know as despair on my mother's face as she looked out the window searching for her three oldest children. Watching and praying.
