The killing of another black teenager sparked a rebellion, which started in New York. But it didn't stop there the summer of #1964.

The #1964 rebellion spread to Rochester. Then Jersey City. Then Paterson. Then Elizabeth City. Then Chicago. Then Philadelphia.

Thousands of people took to the streets in #1964. 5 died, nearly 1,000 were injured. And almost 2,500 were arrested.
