The Detroit Rebellion of 1967, also known as the Detroit riots, was one of the most violent and destructive urban uprisings in the United States during the civil rights era. The rebellion took place in the African American neighborhoods of Detroit, Michigan, from July 23 to July 27, 1967.

The unrest was sparked by a police raid on an unlicensed, after-hours bar in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Virginia Park. Tensions had been simmering for years due to racial discrimination, police brutality, high unemployment rates, and inadequate housing conditions in Detroit's Black communities.

The raid and subsequent arrest of Black patrons at the bar ignited anger and frustration in the community, leading to widespread civil unrest. The rebellion quickly escalated, with looting, fires, and violence spreading throughout the city.

The Michigan National Guard and the U.S. Army were called in to restore order, and a curfew was imposed. By the end of the rebellion, 43 people had been killed, over 1,000 injured, and more than 7,000 arrested. Additionally, thousands of buildings were damaged or destroyed, mainly in Black neighborhoods.

The Detroit Rebellion of 1967 was a turning point in the civil rights movement, highlighting the deep-seated racial inequalities and systemic injustices faced by Black Americans in urban centers across the country. It also prompted discussions about the need for social and economic reforms to address the root causes of racial unrest and inequality in America.
