The Detroit Rebellion of 1967, also known as the Detroit Riot, was a major civil disturbance that took place in Detroit, Michigan from July 23 to July 27, 1967. The uprising was sparked by a police raid on an unlicensed, after-hours bar in the predominantly Black neighborhood of Virginia Park. Tensions had been simmering in the city due to longstanding issues of police brutality, discrimination, and lack of economic opportunities for Black residents.

The raid and subsequent arrest of partygoers led to a violent confrontation between the police and the community, which quickly escalated into widespread looting, arson, and clashes with law enforcement. The rebellion lasted for five days and resulted in 43 deaths (33 African Americans and 10 whites), over 1,000 injuries, and more than 7,200 arrests.

The Detroit Rebellion of 1967 was a turning point in the civil rights movement and brought national attention to issues of racial injustice and inequality in America. The Kerner Commission, established by President Lyndon B. Johnson to investigate the root causes of the unrest, identified systemic racism and poverty as underlying factors contributing to the rebellion.

The events of 1967 had a lasting impact on the city of Detroit, leading to changes in policing practices, urban development, and political representation. The uprising also inspired a new wave of activism and advocacy for Black empowerment and social justice in the United States.
