Someone saw the dwarf in late July of 1967. Later that week, in the early morning of July 23rd, Detroit police officers raided a speakeasy in the office of the United Community League for Civic Action. Expecting only a handful of patrons, they were ill-prepared to handle the 82 celebrating the return of two GIs from Vietnam. The crowd quickly turned on the police and escalated into 5 days of rioting. The toll on the city was tremendous: 43 people died, 467 were injured, 7,231 were arrested, 2,509 stores were looted or burned, 388 families rendered homeless or displaced and 412 buildings burned or damaged enough to be demolished.
