The Milwaukee riot took place from July 30 to August 3, 1967, during a time of racial tension across the United States. The riot was sparked by an incident involving police brutality, leading to clashes between African American residents and the police. The National Guard was called in to restore order, and the unrest resulted in the deaths of four people.
This was part of a series of racial riots in American cities in the summer of 1967, fueled by frustrations over poor living conditions, racial discrimination, and police violence. The Milwaukee riot, while not as widely known as those in Detroit or Newark, was significant in highlighting the growing racial tensions in the country.
