1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Regular season
The Rams won their first two games and faced a big test in Dallas on October 1 against the powerful Cowboys, the defending Eastern Conference champions. It was no contest at the sold-out Cotton Bowl, as the Rams won 35–13, but they came home and stumbled in a 27–24 loss to the 49ers and fell a game behind the 4–0 Baltimore Colts. Los Angeles went east to Baltimore and played to a 24–24 tie. Remarkably, both teams tied their next game as well; the Rams tied the Washington Redskins while the Colts tied the Minnesota Vikings. Both teams then went on winning streaks, and with two games remaining, the Rams were 9–1–2 and the Colts were 10–0–2.


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Regular season
But before finishing the season against the Colts in L.A. in a possible division title deciding game, the Rams faced the two-time defending champion Green Bay Packers (9–2–1). The Packers had clinched their division and would host its playoff games, so a reporter had asked Green Bay head coach Vince Lombardi if he would be resting his starters in (what for them was) a meaningless game, Lombardi roared, "the Packers have never played a meaningless game and, as long as I am the coach, they never will!"


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Regular season
The game was a classic see-saw affair that saw the Packers leading 24–20 with less than a minute to play and the Rams out of time outs. Facing fourth down, the Packers lined up to punt, but Tony Guillory blocked the Donny Anderson punt and Claude Crabb returned it to the Packer 5-yard line. On second and goal, quarterback Roman Gabriel hit flanker Bernie Casey in the end zone for a 27–24 Rams victory.


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Regular season
In the season finale on December 17, the Rams sacked Baltimore quarterback Johnny Unitas seven times and intercepted two of his passes in a 34–10 win. Both teams finished 11–1–2 and tiebreaker rules at the time dictated that the results of the teams' head to head meetings was the tiebreaker. The Rams were awarded the division title based on their 1–0–1 record vs. the Colts, outscoring them in the two games by a combined 58–34.

Note: Tie games were not officially counted in the standings until 1972.


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Postseason
Prior to 1975, the NFL playoff sites were rotated and were not based on regular season record. In 1967, the hosts were the Capitol and Central division winners for the conference championships (first round), and the Western Conference for the championship game. This gave home field advantage to the Central Division winner, the two-time defending NFL champion Green Bay Packers. The following year's playoff hosts were Century, Coastal, and Eastern, respectively, and 1969 was like 1967. With the rotation system it was common for the host team to have an inferior record; it had occurred in four of the previous five NFL championship games (1962, 1964, 1965, 1966).


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Postseason
The Coastal division champion Rams (11–1–2) traveled to Milwaukee to meet the Central champion Packers (9–4–1) for the Western Conference title on Saturday, December 23. It was played at County Stadium (the Packers played several home games per season in Milwaukee through 1994) The two teams had played a classic game just thirteen days earlier in Los Angeles (won by the Rams in the final seconds).


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Postseason
In the playoff game, the Rams jumped out to a 7–0 lead in the unusually balmy 30 °F (−1 °C) weather, but the Packers' postseason experience began to show as they led 14–7 at halftime. The Rams could not get anything going offensively and the Packers went on to a methodical 28–7 win. The following week, the Packers won the famed "Ice Bowl" game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lambeau Field in Green Bay.


1967 Los Angeles Rams season, Postseason
After the loss in Milwaukee, Los Angeles played the Cleveland Browns in the third place Playoff Bowl. Held at the Orange Bowl in Miami on January 7, it was won by the Rams 30–6.

1967 Macdonald Brier
The 1967 Macdonald Brier, Canada's national men's curling championship was held March 6–10 at the Hull Arena in Hull, Quebec. The event was originally planned to be played at the Ottawa Civic Centre in Ottawa, but it was later decided to hold the event across the Ottawa River in Hull as the Civic Centre was not going to be completed in time to host the event.


1967 Macdonald Brier
A 28 year old "Alfie" Phillips Jr., manager of Toronto's Parkway Club won the "Centennial" Brier in his only career appearance. He led Ontario to a 9–1 record, good enough to finish in first place.

1967 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
Elections to the Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly were held in February 1967.


1967 Madhya Pradesh Legislative Assembly election
These were the elections to the legislative assembly having 296 seats in undivided Madhya Pradesh.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election
The fourth legislative assembly election of Madras State (later renamed as Tamil Nadu) was held in February 1967. The Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) led coalition under the leadership of C.N. Annadurai won the election defeating the Indian National Congress (Congress). Anti-Hindi agitations, the rising prices of essential commodities, and a shortage of rice were the dominant issues. K. Kamaraj's resignation as the Chief Minister in 1963, to concentrate on party affairs, along with persistent rumors of corruption had weakened the incumbent Congress Government.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election
This was the second time after Communist Party of India winning Kerala assembly elections in 1957, for a non-Congress party to gain the majority in a state in India, and the last time that Congress held power in Tamil Nadu. It was the first time a party or pre-election alliance formed a non-Congress government with an absolute majority. It marked the beginning of Dravidian dominance in the politics of Tamil Nadu. Annadurai, who became the first non-Congress chief minister of post-independence Tamil Nadu, died in office in 1969 and V.R. Nedunchezhiyan took over as acting chief minister.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Background
The Congress party began to show weakness in the years after the 1962 election. In the summer of 1962, DMK conducted demonstrations against rising prices. These demonstrations turned violent throughout the state leading to the arrest of 6500 DMK volunteers, 14 members of the assembly and four members of the Lok Sabha, including Annadurai.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Background
Kamaraj resigned the Chief Ministership in 1963 to assume the presidency of the All India Congress Committee and was replaced by M. Bakthavatsalam. Robert L. Hardgrave, Jr. (Temple Professor Emeritus in the Humanities, Government and Asian Studies from the University of Texas) wrote in an article published in the journal Pacific Affairs, that M. Bhaktavatsalam did not have the personal charisma or political acumen of Kamaraj. Persistent rumours of corruption tarnished the image of the Government. In October 1964, the food crisis brought the popularity of the Congress Government to an all-time low.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Issues
The major issues at play in the election were the official language issue, the rise in essential commodity prices and the shortage of rice. The central Government led by the Indian National Congress had implemented an act replacing English with Hindi as an official language of India while retaining a possible "associate" status to English. The switchover came into effect on 26 January 1965. In protest to the vague wording of the act, fearing a possible elimination of English and imposition of Hindi, DMK had launched an agitation opposing the switchover and that agitation turned violent. The 1967 election was held in the aftermath of this violence.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Issues
The acute rice shortage prevailing in the state became an election issue with the DMK promising to supply three padis (approx. 4.5 kg) of rice for 1 Rupee in its election manifesto. The DMK capitalised on the rice shortage as well as widespread discontent with the Bhaktavatsalam administration. Slogans like Kamarajar Annachi kadalaiparuppu vilai ennachu (Elder Brother (Annachi is a title historically been used to refer to a person of Kamaraj's caste) Kamaraj, what happened to the price of chana dal? ), Bhaktavatsalam annachi arisi vilai ennachu (lit. Brother Bhatavatsalam, what happened to the price of rice?) were used effectively by the DMK to stir public anger against the Congress.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Issues
This election was noted for popular actor, DMK candidate and future Chief Minister M.G. Ramachandran (MGR) being shot in the throat by actor M.R. Radha. He survived the shooting, but the incident created a huge popularity wave for MGR. This eventually helped to increase the popularity of not only MGR, but also the DMK in the election, and is attributed as one of the reasons for the victory of the DMK.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Coalitions
There were two major political coalitions running in the elections. The Indian National Congress contested alone, while the Dravidar Kazhagam (DK) under Periyar E. V. Ramasamy supported and campaigned for the incumbent Congress against his protege Annadurai. The DMK-led front comprised the Swatantra Party, Communist Party of India (Marxist), Praja Socialist Party, Samyukta Socialist Party, Tamil Nadu Toilers Party, Republican Party of India and the Indian Union Muslim League. The Tamil Arasu Kazhagam and the We Tamils party campaigned using the DMK election symbol.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Coalitions
This opposition coalition was forged by C. Rajagopalachari (Rajaji) with the sole purpose of defeating the Kamaraj led Congress. Rajaji's personal hostility to Kamaraj and his opposition to the Congress party were the main reasons behind Swatantra's alliance with DMK. The Communist Party of India campaigned alone without joining either of the two coalitions.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Coalitions
The electoral alliance between DMK, Swatantra Party and Muslim League had emerged in the years before the 1964 civic elections throughout Madras state. During the 1964 election campaign Rajagopalachari had said, "The DMK and Muslim League are my children and I am duty bound to nurse them to strength and stature."


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Campaigning
Both Congress and DMK used films and actors for campaigning. Gemini Studios produced a political film for the Congress – Vazhga Nam Thayagam starring Shivaji Ganesan and Nagesh. Sivaji and Padmini worked for the Congress party. Despite its efforts, Congress could not counter the DMK's propaganda, which had a long history of using films for political campaigns since its founding.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Campaigning
DMK's long-term association with the Tamil Film industry was put to good use in the campaign. MGR's films were used to attack Congress policies and to popularise DMK's positions. Similar to the tactics employed in the elections of 1957 and 1962, film songs and dialogues from Kaanji Thalaivan (1963), "Deivathai (1964),  "Padakotti (1964)", Aayirathil Oruvan", Enga Veettu Pillai (1965), Anbe Vaa (1966),  Naan Aanaiyittal (1966), "Mugarasi (1966)", "Petralthan Pillaya (1966)",Vivasayee (1967) and Arasakattalai (1967) were used for political messaging. Lesser known film stars like Ravichandran and Jaishankar used their films for praising DMK and Annadurai. The DMK put up posters of MGR recuperating in a hospital bed with a neck cast (from his gunshot wounds) all over Tamil Nadu to garner public sympathy and support.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Election
The election was held for a total of 234 constituencies, including 43 Scheduled Caste and 2 Scheduled Tribe reserved constituencies. 778 candidates, including 11 women were in the fray, of whom 231 men and 3 women were elected to the assembly. The election saw a turnout of 76.57 percent of all eligible voters, with 79.19% men and 73.99% women casting their votes. The polling for the assembly election took place along with the polling for the 1967 parliamentary elections. It took place in three phases between 5 and 21 February (5, 18 and 21 February).


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Results
DMK and its coalition allies won 179 seats (76.5%). The Indian National Congress won 51 seats (21.8%). Four candidates of the Naam Thamizhar Party led by S. P. Adithanar and two candidates of Tamil Arasu Kazhagam led by M. P. Sivagnanam contested under DMK's "Rising Sun" Symbol. The Indian Union Muslim League candidates contested as independents.

1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Analysis
The effective grass roots campaigning by the DMK and the political acumen of Annadurai, defeated the Congress and its leader M. Bhaktavatsalam. The popularity of the United Front was so large that they were able to win an absolute majority in ten out of the 14 districts in the state, while Congress could not accomplish that in a single district. This was largely due to the fact that the United Front was able to capitalize on its growing support in large towns and cities, combined with the decline in Congress support in its traditional Schedule Caste constituencies.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Analysis, Margin of Victory
The following table shows the number of seats won by corresponding parties, by the margin of votes.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Notable losses
The former chief minister and popular leader of the Indian National Congress, K. Kamaraj lost his seat in Virudunagar by 1285 votes to the student leader P. Seenivasan from the DMK. A few days before the election, Kamaraj had an accident and could not campaign. This led to his famous declaration that he would win lying down (Tamil: படுத்துக் கொண்டே ஜெயிப்பேன்). He lost the election along with the incumbent Chief Minister M. Bakthavatsalam, who lost his seat in Sriperumbudur to D. Rajarathinam from the DMK by 8926 votes. Except for G. Bhuvaraghan (the minister for Information and Publicity), all ministers of the outgoing Bakthavatsalam cabinet were defeated in this election.


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Notable losses
There was a post-result wall-painting in Virudhunagar by DMK which said "படிக்காத காமராஜரை படித்த இளைஞன் சீனிவாசன் தோற்கடித்தார்!" ( The illiterate Kamaraj was defeated by Graduate Youth Sreenivasan!). The Congress replied with "படிக்காத முதல்வர் காமராஜர் அன்று கட்டிய அரசு கல்விக்கூடங்களில் படித்து பட்டம் வாங்கிய இளைஞன் சீனிவாசன், இப்போது அதே காமராஜரை தோற்கடித்தான்"  ( The Seenivasan who studied and graduated in Education Institutes built under orders of then Chief Minister of Tamilnadu illiterate Kamaraj, has now defeated the same Kamaraj)


1967 Madras Legislative Assembly election, Government formation
The election results were announced on 23 February 1967 and the DMK won an absolute majority on its own. It had increased its vote share to 40.6% from 27.1% in 1962 election. Annadurai resigned as the Member of Parliament from the Rajya sabha. Annadurai was nominated as Chief Minister of Madras State and staked a claim to form a Government on 2 March 1967. He was sworn in by Governor Ujjal Singh on 6 March 1967 in Rajaji Hall. He was later elected to the Madras Legislative Council on 22 April 1967.

This feat would not be accomplished again until Miguel Cabrera earned the triple crown in 2012 with the Detroit Tigers. Yastrzemski also won the AL MVP and led the Red Sox to the AL pennant for the first time in nearly two decades. They would ultimately lose to the St. Louis Cardinals 7–2 in Game 7 of the World Series.

1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany
The 1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany was the first outbreak of Marburg virus disease. It started in early August 1967 when 30 people became ill in the German towns of Marburg and Frankfurt and later two in Belgrade, Yugoslavia (now Serbia). The infections were traced back to three laboratories in the separate locations which received a shared shipment of infected African green monkeys. The outbreak involved 25 primary Marburg virus infections and seven deaths, and six non-lethal secondary cases.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, Overview
In early August 1967, patients with unusual symptoms indicating an infectious disease were admitted to the university hospitals in Marburg and Frankfurt. The first patients were treated in their homes for up to 10 days, even though the illness was described as beginning suddenly with extreme malaise, myalgia, headache, and a rapid increase in body temperature to as high as 39 °C (102.2 °F) or more. Although the clinical symptoms were not very alarming during the first 3–4 days, additional symptoms and signs appeared at the end of the first week. The patients were therefore admitted to a hospital. In some cases, patients died from severe hemorrhagic shock on the day after hospital admission. Severe hemorrhagic shock occurred in about 25% of patients. All patients who died had hemorrhagic shock. The first infections occurred in laboratory workers who were conducting necropsies on imported African green monkeys.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, Overview
The incubation time of Marburg virus disease could only be estimated retrospectively, after the source of infection and the date of exposure were known. Incubation ranged from 5 to 9 days, with an average of 8 days. The ratio of primary to secondary infections was 21:3 in Marburg, 4:2 in Frankfurt, and 1:1 in Belgrade. Three cases of secondary infection resulted from inadvertent needle-stick inoculations; in one case, a pathology technician cut himself on the forearm with a knife during a postmortem examination.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, Overview
Airborne transmission between humans did not occur, as indicated, for example, by the instance of a young man who slept in the same bed with his brother only a couple of days before he died; the brother did not develop disease and was seronegative for Marburg virus disease six months later.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, Origin
The origin of the outbreaks was investigated at the same time as the microbiological studies. Early on in the investigation, it was realized that the patients in Marburg were employees of Behringwerke, a producer of sera and vaccines. The patients in Frankfurt were employees of Paul Ehrlich Institute, a control institute of sera and vaccines. While the primary case in Belgrade was an employee involved in testing of live vaccines. All the patients at the three locations had contact with blood, organs, and cell cultures from African green monkeys (Cercopithecus aethiops). The monkeys' organs were used to make kidney cell culture for the production and safety testing of vaccines.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, Origin
The separate outbreaks were traced break to a shared shipment of infected green monkeys. Generally, shipments of green monkeys went directly from Uganda to Frankfurt. However, because of the Six Day War (5–10 June 1967), this shipment of monkeys was rerouted through London, where they were placed in animal storage because of a strike at the airport. After a two day delay, the monkeys were shipped to Frankfurt, and then to the laboratories in Frankfurt, Marburg, and Belgrade in June and July. The subsequent processing of the monkeys for cell culture at the three locations led to the laboratory-related outbreaks. The monkeys were believed to have been infected in Uganda, although infection from other animals in storage in London was also possible.


1967 Marburg virus outbreak in West Germany, History
The Marburg virus disease made reappearances in other countries in 1975, 1980, 1987, 1990, 1998–2000, 2004–05, 2007, 2008, 2017 and 2021. The seven deaths out of the 31 initially diagnosed infections during the 1967 Marburg virus outbreak represent a case fatality rate of 23%. The 32nd case was diagnosed retroactively via serology.


1967 Marshall Thundering Herd football team
The 1967 Marshall Thundering Herd football team was an American football team that represented Marshall University in the Mid-American Conference (MAC) during the 1967 NCAA University Division football season.

Tim McLaughlin and Richie Robb were the team captains. The team played its home games at Fairfield Stadium in Huntington, West Virginia.


1967 Maryland Terrapins football team
The 1967 Maryland Terrapins football team represented the University of Maryland in the 1967 NCAA University Division football season.

The team's statistical leaders included Chuck Drimal with 669 passing yards, Billy Lovett with 499 rushing yards, and Rick Carlson with 309 receiving yards.


1967 Masters Tournament
The 1967 Masters Tournament was the 31st Masters Tournament, held April 6–9 at Augusta National Golf Club. Gay Brewer won his only major title by one stroke over runner-up Bobby Nichols.


1967 Masters Tournament
Rebounding from a three-putt on the 72nd hole and a playoff loss the previous year, Brewer birdied the 13th, 14th, and 15th holes on Sunday. Arnold Palmer finished in fourth and Gary Player finished tied for 6th, while Sam Snead and Ben Hogan, both age 54, finished tied for 10th. In the third round, Hogan shot a 66 which was the lowest single round score in the tournament, while he struggled with an aching shoulder and legs.


1967 Masters Tournament
Hogan's round included a course record-tying 30 on the back nine, with birdies at 10, 11, 12, 13, 15, and 18, with pars at the other three holes. It was later equaled by Player in 1978 and Jack Nicklaus in 1986; both shot 30 on the back nine on Sunday to win by a stroke. The record stood until Mark Calcavecchia shot 29 on the back nine in 1992 (David Toms also shot a 29 on the back nine in 1998). This was Hogan's final appearance in the Masters; his last major was two months later at the U.S. Open. For Snead, a three-time champion, it marked his final top ten finish at Augusta; he participated into the 1980s.


1967 Masters Tournament
It was also the last Masters for three-time champion Jimmy Demaret as a participant, who missed the cut by four strokes. He won the Masters in 1940, 1947, and 1950, but had not played in the other three majors since 1958.


1967 Masters Tournament
Two-time defending champion Nicklaus shot a nine-bogey 79 in the second round and missed the cut by one stroke, the first defending champion not to play on the weekend. (The 36-hole cut at Augusta was introduced a decade earlier, in 1957.) It was his only missed cut at the Masters from 1960 through 1993 (withdrew before 2nd round in 1983); he missed the cut by a stroke in his first appearance in 1959 at age 19. Nicklaus regrouped and won the next major, the U.S. Open at Baltusrol.


1967 Masters Tournament
With the missed cut, Nicklaus failed to qualify for the Ryder Cup team, the first for which he was eligible. He had been in a minor slump and only became eligible in mid-1966, more than halfway through the two-year qualifying cycle, His win in the previous Masters did not count for the Ryder Cup as it was prior to his full PGA of America membership and it was the era prior to captains' picks.


1967 Masters Tournament
Arnold Palmer won the eighth Par 3 contest with a score of 23. Like Hogan and Snead, this was his last top 10 in the Masters.

This minor planet was named after American astrophysicist Donald Howard Menzel (1901–1976), who was the director of the Harvard College Observatory and a pioneer in theoretical and observational astrophysics. Menzel, a mentor of several prolific astronomers, calculated Atomic Transition Probabilities, analysed the composition of stars from their spectra, studied the physics of gaseous nebulae and the Sun's chromosphere, observed solar eclipses, and measured the rotation period of Uranus and Neptune by means of spectroscopy. Menzel was also popular for debunking UFO sightings. The official naming citation was published by the Minor Planet Center on 18 April 1977 (M.P.C. 4158).


1967 Menzel, Physical characteristics
Between September 2005 and November 2015, a total of least 10 rotational lightcurves were obtained for this asteroid from photometric observations from several observatories all over the world. They all gave a concurring, well-defined rotation period of 2.83–2.84 hours with a brightness variation between 0.24 and 0.39 magnitude. (U=3/3/3/3/3/3/3/3/2+/3).

1967 Milan–San Remo
The 1967 Milan–San Remo cycling race took place on March 18, 1967, and was won by Peugeot-BP-Englebert's Eddy Merckx. It was the 58th edition of the Milan–San Remo "monument" classic race.


1967 Milan–San Remo, Summary
The decisive attack was launched at 50 km from the finish by 20 riders, including Italians Felice Gimondi, Dino Zandegù, Gianni Motta, Franco Bitossi and the previous year's winner, Eddy Merckx. Merckx, left without teammates in the breakaway, broke solo at 20 km from the finish, before being joined by Gianni Motta. After the descent of the Poggio, Gimondi and Bitossi returned to the two leaders, leading to a four-man sprint on the Via Roma. Merckx easily won the sprint, sealing his second Primavera victory, and also established a new record average speed.


1967 Milwaukee riot
The 1967 Milwaukee riot was one of 159 race riots that swept cities in the United States during the "Long Hot Summer of 1967". In Milwaukee, Wisconsin, African American residents, outraged by the slow pace in ending housing discrimination and police brutality, began to riot on the evening of July 30, 1967. The inciting incident was a fight between teenagers, which escalated into full-fledged rioting with the arrival of police. Within minutes, arson, looting, and sniping were ravaging the North Side of the city, primarily the 3rd Street Corridor.


1967 Milwaukee riot
The city put a round-the-clock curfew into effect on July 31. The governor mobilized the National Guard to quell the disturbance that same day, and order was restored on August 3. Although the damage caused by the riot was not as destructive as in such cities as Detroit and Newark, many businesses in the affected neighborhoods were severely damaged. Tensions increased afterward between police and residents. The July disturbance also served as a catalyst to additional unrest in the city; equal housing marches held in August often turned violent as white residents clashed with black demonstrators.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
During the mid-1960s, there was race-related civil unrest in a number of major US cities, including riots in Harlem and Philadelphia in 1964; Los Angeles in 1965; and Cleveland and Chicago in 1966. During the summer of 1967, a total of 159 race riots broke out across the country in what would come to be known as the Long Hot Summer.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
Milwaukee communities had long been segregated when Alderwoman Vel Phillips, the first woman and African American to hold the position, proposed the first fair housing ordinance in March 1962. She continued to introduce fair housing proposals over the next five years. Four times they were defeated by the city council.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
By the summer of 1967, tensions continued to escalate, and protests became increasingly common, including multiple demonstrations outside the private homes of the city's Aldermen. Mayor Henry Maier, the city council, and school board refused to address civil rights grievances, and relations between the police and the residents worsened. As historian Patrick Jones put it, "Blight had surrounded, and then devoured, the heart of Milwaukee's black community."


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
Recent uprisings in Newark and Detroit, which had broken out July 12 and 23 respectively, only served to make matters worse. LeRoy Jones, then one of 18 black police officers among the total of 2,056 officers in the city's department, described the situation:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
There were some rumors that something was going to happen ... We did know there was going to be a riot. The Police Department knew - one to two weeks ahead - that something was planned. It was predicted that it would be on 3rd Street.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Background
According to a study that was administered by Karl Flaming, over 95% of all local African Americans did not participate in this disturbance. A majority of the citizens that took part in this riot were young black men who lived in the inner core of Milwaukee. Of the participants, 35 % were unemployed and 20% were classified as poor.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 29
Around midnight on the evening of July 29, a fight broke out between two black women outside the St. Francis Social Center, on the corner of 4th and West Brown streets. A crowd of 350 spectators gathered, and when police arrived to respond to the disturbance, the crowd began to throw rocks at police vehicles. Soon more police came, dressed in riot gear. Some property damage was done but the crowd was quickly dispersed.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 30
The day of Sunday, July 30 was calm, but rumors spread and tensions grew.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 30
A large crowd gathered that evening on 3rd Street. It is not clear what event started the outbreak, but at least one story circulated that police had assaulted a young boy. Squire Austin, who was at a civil rights rally, recalled, "The rumor we got ... was that police had beaten up a kid pretty bad over on Third and Walnut ... that's when the looting and firebombing started."


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 30
By 10:00 PM a crowd of 300 were throwing missiles at stores owned by white residents, starting fires, and looting. The police reacted with violence, and the mob reacted in turn. More fights broke out around 3rd Street, and shootings were reported on Center Street. Along the area from West State street to West Burleigh street looting broke out, multiple shootings occurred, and more fires were set.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 30
Just prior to midnight, the mayor went to City Hall to meet with Police Chief Harold Breier. Reports of the first fires came in, along with reports of dispatched firefighters being assailed by stones and prevented from extinguishing them. The mayor requested Governor Warren Knowles notify the Wisconsin National Guard to be on standby.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
Around 2 AM on July 31, in the area around North 2nd street and West Center street, iron worker Milton L. Nelsen was driving through the mostly black inhabited area, when someone shouted "He's got a gun in the glove compartment." Shotgun fire came from a nearby house, and Nelsen was shot in the face and killed instantly. He left behind a wife and eight children. Hannah Jackson, a bystander, was also hit.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
The man who fired the gun, John Oraa Tucker, was later charged for the shooting, and maintained he did so out of fear for his and his family's safety. When police responded, officer Bryan Moschea was shot and killed when he entered a building thought to be the location of an unrelated sniper. His badly burned body was not able to be recovered until the following day. Four other officers were wounded. The body of Annie Mosley, aged 77, was found in the burned-out building. She had been shot in the head. Another woman, Willie Ella Green, aged 43, suffered a fatal heart attack running from her second story apartment.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
The mayor received word of the shootings and fire at West Center at 2:26 AM. He declared a state of emergency, and imposed a citywide curfew, which took effect at 3:40 AM. At the Mayor's request, the National Guard was activated.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
The mayor lifted the curfew from 4:00 PM to 6:00 PM. This resulted in a rush on downtown and suburban supermarkets. As the story in the Milwaukee Journal described it:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
Grocery shopping Monday meant standing in long lines and waiting ... Shoppers came in families. Sometimes there were six adults in a car. They seemed to be shopping more from compulsion than need.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, July 31
By the end of the day businesses, public transportation, utilities and educational institutions had all closed, and deliveries of milk and cattle to the city had halted.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, August 1 onward
On August 1, Mayor Maier issued an order relaxing the curfew to only night hours. Some people began returning to work and some public services became available, at least partially. Police responded to reports that youths were lighting a paint store on fire. Clifford McKissick, aged 18, was shot in the neck and killed as he fled toward the nearby family home. The Milwaukee County's emergency hospital was closed and all personnel were transferred to the general hospital, which was farther away from the city, and deemed better capable of coping with the large number of casualties.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, August 1 onward
The Milwaukee Sentinel published a piece August 2 describing the plight of those who were restricted by the curfew, saying that they "were outside on their porches or standing next to their apartment buildings, watching. If they got too far away from their homes, though, police and guardsmen moved in."


1967 Milwaukee riot, Events, August 1 onward
On August 3 the mayor postponed the curfew from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM.

On August 3, 1967, an alliance of civil rights organizations and male priest held a dinner to tribute Groppi to honor his contributions to the local struggle for racial equity in Milwaukee and the state of Wisconsin.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath
On August 27, 1967, the local NAACP, led by Father James Groppi, held a march of about a hundred into a white neighborhood in protest of the city's housing laws. They came up against a crowd of 5,000 who retaliated with racial epithets, stones, and garbage. The following day Groppi addressed a meeting of supporters at St. Boniface Church, and prepared them for what was likely to come:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath
If there is any man or woman here who is afraid of going to jail for his freedom, is afraid of getting tear gassed, or is afraid of dying, you should not have come to this meeting tonight.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath
On August 29, the curfew was lifted and Groppi led 200 members of the Milwaukee NAACP on a march out of the ghetto and toward Kosciuszko Park, in an area predominately inhabited by white residents. The mob they met had grown to 13,000 and the protesters came under sniper fire as they returned to their headquarters. It was burned down later that night or early the next morning. The Mayor issued an order banning such demonstrations, and both Groppi and Phillips were arrested.

On September 4, Martin Luther King Jr. sent a telegram from Atlanta in support:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath
What you and your courageous associates are doing in Milwaukee will certainly serve as a kind of massive nonviolence that we need in this turbulent period. You are demonstrating that it is possible to be militant and powerful without destroying life or property. Please know that you have my support and my prayers.

1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath, Legal changes
In the immediate aftermath of the riot and marches, little was accomplished in the way of laws, policies, and programs. Speaking of the lack of available funding for enacting proposed reforms, Mayor Maier said:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath, Legal changes
The city of Milwaukee can no more finance the crucial problems of poverty, ignorance, disease and discrimination with the property taxes of relatively poor people than the city of Milwaukee can finance sending a man to the moon.

However, later that year the mayor rejected federal benefits, as they required support for fair housing in the city. He argued instead that the problem was a county-wide one. Support continued to grow for a housing measure, supported by the League of Women Voters and local workers unions. A petition circulated by supporters of fair housing garnered 8,000 signatures. A petition that opposed such legislation was presented to the city council with 27,000 signatures.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath, Legal changes
In December, the city passed a form of fair housing that included enough exemptions, that it only applied to about a third of the housing in the city. Groppi dismissed it as "tokenism and crumbs". Phillips voted against the measure, saying it was "very much too late with very much too little".


1967 Milwaukee riot, Aftermath, Legal changes
On April 11, 1968, a week after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the US Congress passed the Fair Housing Act, as part of the Civil Rights Act of 1968. Faced with capitulation, or the violation of federal law, the Milwaukee Common Council followed on April 30, passing an ordinance that was stronger than that required by the federal law. Casting a tie-breaking vote, council president Robert Jendusa said he hoped the measure might "heal some of the wounds of the community".


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
According to Nesbit, the riots "widened the gap between militant blacks and other civil rights activists and the uncompromising white majority in the city."


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
Thomson described the disparate interpretations of the event, emphasizing that blacks tended to view it as "a violent expression of the accumulated frustration and anger, undesirable but understandable", while whites believed it represented "the failure of black parents to control their children, irresponsible and rebellious individuals and the agitation of civil rights activists..." Blacks tended to see solutions in public reforms and the advancement of civil rights, while whites tended toward the need for increased policing and gun control.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
In an article published August 1, 1967, by the Milwaukee Sentinel, an interview was reported with "John", an anonymous black rioter in his 20s:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
He's (the white man) out there marching up and down with his guns. Why can't we march up and down with our guns? ... We went before (Mayor) Maier and we argued and argued and argued and argued and argued and it didn't do no good...


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
A study conducted by the Milwaukee Urban League found that, among blacks arrested during the riot, 90% cited "blocked job opportunities" as one of the root causes. The same study found that 53% of blacks arrested were unemployed or underemployed compared to 29% among blacks not participating in the riot. In another University of Wisconsin study, 54% of blacks interviewed reported that police brutality had a "great deal" to do with the riot. Another 55% felt that lack of respect and insults by police occurred frequently in the ghetto.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Public opinion
According to a research conducted by Jonathon Slesinger, 24 % of inner city blacks described this event as a civil rights struggle, while 43 % of inner city whites viewed it as a riot. Opinions on how to avoid future disturbances varied between white people and black people. For the white inner city respondents, 51% wanted to give police more power so suspicious people on streets would be stopped and get searched. Of the inner city Black respondents, 84% favored a proposal that would reduce racial disparity and provide more jobs for black people.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Legacy
The Clifford McKissick Community School in Milwaukee was named for the black youth killed by police on August 2 as part of the riot. In 1981, his family filed a civil lawsuit alleging excessive force on the part of officer Ralph Schroeder in the shooting death of McKissick. A Circuit Court ruled in favor of the officer and found that McKissick was responsible for his own death.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Legacy
A year after the riots, John Oraa Tucker, a Shorewood High School janitor who lived in the house burned on the morning of July 31 (where Nelsen and a police officer were killed, among four others who were wounded) was charged with 9 counts of attempted murder. After the longest jury trial in Milwaukee County Court history (17 days of verdict deliberation) he was cleared on the most serious charges, but found guilty of endangering the safety of the public and given a 25-year sentence. He was paroled on July 1, 1977, just under 10 years into his sentence, and moved to Wausau, Wisconsin.

Asked about the events and his convictions in an interview two weeks after his release, Tucker remarked "As long as people's minds are in the past, it puts bumps and obstacles in the way of the future. It's been a long time. Let's forget about it."

In a 1970 case heard before the Wisconsin Supreme Court, Interstate Fire & Casualty Co. v Milwaukee, a company sought $506.93 in damages done to a tavern during the riots. In its decision siding with the city, the court wrote:


1967 Milwaukee riot, Legacy
In this era of "confrontation politics", "protest marches", and "civil disobedience" it is naive to think that riot statues such as that before the court will retard such occurrences or keep them from developing into damaging riots, especially considering the spontaneity with which they occur.


1967 Milwaukee riot, Legacy
In 1980, twelve years after the passage of Milwaukee's equal housing ordinance, the city ranked second nationally among the most racially segregated suburban areas. As of 2000, it was the most segregated city in the country according to data gathered by the US Census Bureau. In a July 2017 study by the Wall Street Journal of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas, Milwaukee was listed the 11th most segregated city.


1967 Minneapolis Riot
The 1967 Minneapolis riot was one of the 159 riots that swept across cities in the United States during the "Long Hot Summer of 1967".


1967 Minneapolis Riot
On 20 July 1967, widespread violence erupted in North Minneapolis, an area known for its Jewish and African American communities. The reported origins vary from the police mishandling a teen dispute over a wig to a pre-meditated plot by Black Panther leader Stokely Carmichael. Widespread violence, including rock and bottle-throwing at law enforcement and fires set to businesses along Plymouth Avenue, quickly engulfed the area and lasted three days.


1967 Minneapolis Riot
Arthur Naftalin, mayor of Minneapolis, petitioned Minnesota Governor Harold LeVander for assistance from the Minnesota National Guard. After three days of demonstration, there were 26 arrests, 24 injured, and no deaths. Damage to public and private property totaled $4.2 million.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Background
The civil rights movement occurring mainly in the southern portion of the United States to protest the unequal treatment of African Americans in business, politics, education, and housing resulted in rippling effects across the nation. Soon, civil uprisings extended outside the southern states. Cities like Boston, Milwaukee, and Minneapolis experienced similar racial tensions that erupted in violence.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Background
Before 1960, restrictive housing guidelines prevented the working-class African American and Jewish communities from residing in certain parts of Minneapolis. Because of this, the two marginalized communities found common ground in North Minneapolis, where they built businesses, friendships, and families.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Background
After World War II, societal opinions toward the Jewish community shifted away from anti-semitism. With this, business and job opportunities became available to Jewish citizens outside of North Minneapolis. African American community did not receive similar treatment. This imbalance created fissures between the two communities. Between the growing Civil Rights movements and rising tensions in North Minneapolis, a riot erupted in 1966. The period of unrest was short-lived. It resulted in arson and looting. For a short period, the Minnesota National Guard deployed to quell the violence.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Background
In the aftermath of the 1966 riot, a community center called "The Way" was established on Plymouth Avenue, the cultural and business hub of North Minneapolis. [ 2] This center became a nucleus for neighborhood extracurricular activity, including meetings and music. It is also known as the hub for community activism in North Minneapolis.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Background
"after a disturbance born of disillusionment and anger exploded spontaneously in the streets. Its emergency purpose was to help calm the neighborhood by providing an off-the-street facility for youth and a meeting place for residents. "[3]


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
The reports on the genesis of the riot on 20 July 1967 vary dramatically. Historical documents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) allege that Stokely Carmichael, the Black Panther movement's political leader, met with acquaintances in North Minneapolis months before July 1967. The report states that Carmichael warned that "the blood will flow in the city of Minneapolis this summer. He allegedly communicated to the group that the protests would begin at the city's annual Aquatennial Parade.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
Harry Moss, a co-founder of The Way Community Center and North Minneapolis resident, recalled the Plymouth Avenue unrest began when a black resident was shot by a Jewish business owner for petty theft.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
Most news outlets report that the riots began when two teen girls were in an altercation over a wig at the Aquatennial Torchlight Parade. When Minneapolis police responded to the incident, one of the girls was met with extreme force, triggering an outcry for justice.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
Residents gathered at The Way to organize a protest against the police brutality. The citizens marched along Plymouth Avenue to demand justice for police behavior. Soon police responded to the disturbance. Tensions rose as they attempted to break up the demonstration. Police allegedly struck a pregnant woman. From there, the protest became violent, including rock-throwing and Molotov cocktails. Protesters burned local Jewish businesses.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
The protest continued into the next day. Minnesota Mayor Arthur Naftalin, petitioned governor Harold LeVander to activate the National Guard to restore order to the area. The governor ordered 600 National Guard Soldiers to deploy to the site. Milt Sunde and Ron Acks, two Minnesota Vikings football players, also serving in the Minnesota National Guard, responded to the riots. [ 4] Federal troops also covered South Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Rioting
Throughout the three days of protest, African Americans expressed anger at police brutality, discriminatory housing, and education practices. Most of the property destruction focused on white authority figures.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Damage
Protesters destroyed ten stores on Plymouth Avenue during the first night of violence. Fire consumed two local groceries stores: Silvers Food Market and Knox Food Market. Jewish residents owned both businesses.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Damage
By the time  the violence subsided, there were three shootings, 36 arrests, 18 fires and 24 injuries. The total damage $4.2 million.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Political response
The protesters consistently expressed discontent with discriminatory practices in Minneapolis. Local leaders held a public forum for residents to discuss grievances within the community.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Political response
“This will show them we are not going to take any more of the cops shoving and pushing us,” said one protester.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Political response
Another explained the violence of the protesters was a normal response to social conditions. “You back a colored man into a corner and complain when he comes out fighting,” he said. [ 1]


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Political response
Mayor Naftalin convened a grand jury of all-white residents to identify violent protestors and prosecute their actions. The grand jury concluded that police responded appropriately and did not fire weapons at the protesters, despite one young resident's report of a gunshot wound. The grand jury maintained that there was no evidence of Police brutality.


1967 Minneapolis Riot, Political response
The grand jury advised that The Way Community Center staff should be investigated for inciting the demonstration.

No candidate received a majority in the Democratic primary, which featured seven contenders, so a runoff was held between the top two candidates.

It was the first Democratic primary for the governorship since the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, resulting in an increased registration for black voters from 29,500 to 195,000, making overt segregationist rhetoric less acceptable, as the Citizens' Councils complained by asking the contestants "why our ideals of states' rights and racial segregation" were not being "featured in this campaign as in the past." On the other hand, the abolition of poll tax benefited many poor whites, most of whom were supporters of segregation. As a result, each one of the seven candidates aired support for segregation, although to varying degrees.

Waller, who prosecuted Byron De La Beckwith and attacked the Ku Klux Klan, additionally railed against civil rights "rabble-rousers.” He was the more moderate candidate on the race question along with Winter, who had to embrace segregationist rhetoric to stay in the race.

Barnett attempted to do a comeback, but more militant segregationists complained he did not do enough during the Ole Miss riot of 1962. Staunch segregationist Williams ironically used the least rhetoric since he could claim to have sacrificed his House career for Goldwater three years ago in 1964, although his supporters handed out flyers stating that "if William F. Winter is elected governor, the Negroes will run Mississippi."

The most openly segregationist candidate was Jimmy Swan, running on a promise to establish "FREE, private, SEGREGATED SCHOOLS for every white child in the State of Mississippi" in the first twelve months of his term, or else he would resign and publicly apologize.

He proposed to save Mississippi "from the moral degeneracy of total mass integration that Washington has decreed for our children this fall", saying that granting equality to the blacks was to make savagery the equal of civilization and promising to use extreme force against any black urban riot, which he viewed as a "Communist monster", and openly courted the Klan, of which his campaign bodyguard Pat Massengale was a member. Such rhetoric might have contributed to the relatively less extremist voters moving to vote for Barnett, viewed as more moderate, and similarly winning most extreme segregationists from Barnett Swan always wore a white suit to demonstrate his beliefs on race.
