1968 West Side Riots, Chicago
Looters smash the glass windows of a drugstore near the intersection of West Madison Avenue and Oakley Boulevard during the West Side Riots, Chicago, Illinois, early April 1968. The riots, which began in the aftermath of the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr, caused widespread property damage (estimated at more than 10 million dollars), left thousands homeless and hundreds injured, and resulted in the deaths of 11 people.
