Many people died and were injured during the riots.
The 1967 Detroit (12th Street) riot — July 23–28, 1967 — was one of the deadliest and most destructive in U.S. history: about 43 people were killed, roughly 1,100 were injured, some 7,200 were arrested and thousands of buildings were damaged or destroyed. It prompted investigations (the Kerner Commission) and changes in policing and urban policy, but it did not cause an immediate change in U.S. law, did not legally end segregation, nor did it specifically “cause a second summer of rioting.”
