The news stories reported that on a hot July evening, a small street dance party suddenly transformed into an angry mob scene of several thousand citizens countered by all available Rochester law enforcement.<\/p>\n<p>After three days of mayhem, uneasy quiet was finally restored. The results of the riots were alarming: four people had been killed; more than 1,000 citizens &#8212; both African Americans and whites &#8212; had been arrested; and the damage to property totaled more than one million dollars, with numerous commercial properties beyond repair.<\/p>\n<p>Rochester&#8217;s riots were classified as &#8220;most severe&#8221; and preceded many others through out the United States during the Sixties summers.<\/p>\n<p>July 2014 marks the 50th anniversary of Rochester&#8217;s riots.
