Where were you during the 1967 Detroit Riot?

Well, it's been 50 years! I was at a picnic today and heard a few interesting stories from people I didn't know where even in Detroit at the time? I'm looking forward to both "12th & Clairmount" as well as "Detroit" to see both an updated documentary perspective and a big budget theatrical release perspective of 1967?

Senior year of h.s., still seething at parents for not letting me apply for summer job at recently opened Playboy Club on E. Jefferson. Living in 1300 E. Lafayette high-rise. Large, 3-BR corner apt. Good for great views of the river to south, downtown skyline to west.
Not so good for riots, though. 2 nights of snipers firing at the windows, arsons already starting in the slums just six blocks to the east [[Mt. Eliot)
Not for the faint-hearted.
