MASSIVE RIOT BEGAN ON THIS DAY IN 1943
Simmering racial tensions and economic frustrations boiled over
in New York City on the night of August 1, 1943, culminating in
what is now known as the Harlem Riot of 1943.
During an altercation in the lobby of the Braddock Hotel, a white
police officer shoots a Black soldier, Robert Bandy, triggering a
massive uprising.
