The Detroit Rebellion of 1967, also known as the Detroit Riot, was one of the deadliest and most destructive race riots in the history of the United States. The rebellion took place in Detroit, Michigan, over the course of five days from July 23 to July 27, 1967.

The catalyst for the riot was a police raid on an unlicensed, after-hours bar in a predominantly Black neighborhood. The raid sparked widespread anger and resentment in the Black community, which had long been subjected to systemic racism and discrimination in the city.

As the news of the raid spread, tensions escalated, leading to widespread looting, arson, and violence in the city. The National Guard was called in to help restore order, but their presence only escalated the situation, leading to further clashes between protesters and law enforcement.

By the time the rebellion was finally quelled, 43 people had been killed, over 1,000 were injured, and more than 7,000 individuals had been arrested. The rebellion also resulted in extensive property damage, with over 2,000 buildings destroyed.

The Detroit Rebellion of 1967 served as a wake-up call for many Americans about the deep-seated issues of racial inequality and police brutality in the country. It also led to increased efforts to address the root causes of racial unrest in Detroit and other cities across the United States.
