There Goes the Neighborhood" The Rochester Racial Uprising of 1964


November 14, 2017

by Verdis LeVar Robinson

In this interactive presentation, our goal is to virtually tour, relive, and retell the historical transformation of an old 7th Ward in Rochester and to study the effects of racism and discriminatory policies and practices, which is argued to have caused the uprisings. With this understanding, we can gain insight in the recent uprisings in Ferguson and Baltimore in addition to understanding urban uprisings in general to inform anti-violence and anti-poverty efforts in New York State
