“Left behind were hundreds of burned-out buildings, whole blocks that looked as though they had been bombed into oblivion.” These words, written by the Washington Post’s Leonard Downie Jr., do not describe a war zone but rather the nation’s capital reeling in the wake of the riots of April 1968. In the devastating aftermath of Martin Luther King’s assassination, a community already plagued by poor living conditions, unfair policing, and segregation broke into chaos.These riots brought well-documented tragedy and heartbreak–not only among the families of those who lost their lives but also among those who lost their homes, possessions, jobs, and businesses. There was anger, fear, and anxiety throughout the city of Washington, DC, from the White House to the residential neighborhoods of the capital.
