One black and white photograph dated July 19, 1965. Pictured is a street where one building has been destroyed. Also in the photograph are people standing in front of the businesses and walking on the sidewalk. A news caption attached to back of the photograph reads, "People mill around a portion of the Hough section of Cleveland, site of rioting and looting during the night."
The Houghton neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio was predominantly African American in the 1960s. Riots occurred from July 18-20, 1966 after a white owner of a bar refused to serve a Black man a glass of water. By the next day, the National Guard was called in to assist police officers
