Explanation:

Until the 1960s, the race riots were mainly from whites. This changed with the ghetto riots, in which the African-American population began to protest against discrimination and racial segregation by whites. In 1964 there was riots in Harlem, in 1965 in Watts. The next three years spared almost no big city in the US. In the 1967 riots in Detroit, directed against white police violence, there were 43 deaths. After the assassination of Martin Luther King on 4 April 1968, protests occurred in about 170 cities, especially in Baltimore and Washington.
