I was a teen in the 1960s, I participated in the race protest during the Black Panthers Trial in New Haven n 1970
I was profoundly affected by the Kent State Massacre by the Ohio National Guard. That Jewish kid lying dead in the street with the young lady kneeling over him (that won a Pulitzer Prize) was my 3rd Cousin Jeffrey Miller. No you can;t identify me from this because the connections wre all on mothers’ sides for several generations.

That said: There were MANY Race Riots in the USA in the 1970s, to name only a few:
Asbury Park, NJ Race Riots July, 1970
Camden, NY Race Riots 1971
Escambia HS Riots Pensacola, FL 1972-1976
Boston, MA Busing Race Riots throughout the year 1974
Boston Busing Riot April 1976
Humboldt Park, Chicago June 1976

And these don;t include riots such as Attica Prison Sept 1971 that was very much a race riot as well as a prison uprising.
