(Bettmann Archive/Getty Images) White Milwaukee lied to itself for decades, and in 1967 the truth came out. When the Long Hot Summer came to Wisconsin, the reality of race relations was impossible to ignore By syreeta mcfadden 2017 @medium Milwaukee has a peculiar relationship with its black population. The city imagined itself exceptional to the kind of deep racial tensions that gripped most of the North. But still the atmosphere was heavy with suspicion and contempt, mystery and fear. The climate is familiar to southern folk: Severe cold at times, extreme humid thick heat at others, frightful storms and twisters that level whole communities in a matter of minutes. The North Side harbored African Americans, and the South Side was home to generations of white ethnics of German and Polish descent. The topography of Milwaukee’s communities was a microcosm of the racialized lines of the United States. . It wasn’t a particularly balmy summer night Sunday, July 30, 1967, when all hell broke loose. Midsummer Milwaukee temperatures peaked around a comfortable 70 degrees, and probably drew dewy, yet cool breezes from Lake Michigan, east of the inner core, the 5.5-square-mile community that was home to the city’s 80,000 African Americans. No one was certain about what started the whole thing. The night before, 350 onlookers watched two women duke it out just outside a nightclub on Third Street. Police tried to disperse the crowd but met bitter resistance. The damage was mild. A few smashed windows, rocks, bottles, and trash, cuts and bruises. But the following night would be an entirely different story. Late Sunday into early Monday, a 30-block area of the inner core became embroiled in an uprising that left four dead, 1,740 arrested, and $500,000 in property damage.」6月28日 9時11分
