Description: | The night of Friday, July 24,1964 started off normally enough in Rochester, New York – stiflingly hot and humid – but by the next morning no one would look at race relations in the North the same way again. July ’64 takes a penetrating look at the
underlying causes of the riots and urban insurrections that swept through black communities like wildfire that summer and in years since.
