“Was It Really Just a Protest of Local Reactionary Whites?:
Kawaida Towers Incident and the Tenuous Stability of Newark’s North Ward After the ‘67 Riots”

Since I grew up there and was then a newspaper reporter, I present tapes and never-before-heard information, plus insights from local residents, many of whom were Italian immigrants, as was my family.
