 | Richard Bak鈥淚 could write a book about race relations in Detroit, and maybe someday I will,鈥 says Richard Bak, whose books include a biography of Joe Louis and a history of Detroit鈥檚 Negro Leagues. For now, the native Detroiter has to settle for writing this issue鈥檚 feature on the 1967 riot and an accompanying essay about growing up on the city鈥檚 west side during the 鈥60s. Some have recast the 12th Street riot as a 鈥渞ebellion,鈥 a characterization Bak resists. 鈥淚 understand the rationale, but I鈥檝e never been really comfortable with it because it gives the looters, arsonists, and snipers a nobility of purpose most clearly didn鈥檛 possess at the time they were tearing the city apart. In the end, it boils down to semantics. Whatever one calls it, we can all agree that it was an absolute tragedy.鈥 |
