Where were you during the 1967 Detroit Riot?

g: Your quote:
"...The woman told of Leni Sinclair standing outside shouting to get into the store because she needed milk for the baby. I hope someone gave her some milk..."
That would be Parker Brothers Market, I believe. Henry Drugs, down the street at Third & Prentis closed, with Henry's janitor, an old German guy known as "Ted" perched on a chair in front, a double barrelled shot gun in his lap and a Luger strapped to his side.
The small store at 2nd @ Prentis sold out all stock in a couple of hours.

I highly recommend it. The poor white family in the book lives in southwest Detroit, first on Twentieth Street and later on Labrosse. The character of Jules lives around Warren and Woodward and gets caught up in the anarchy of the riot.
