Milwaukee Tear Gas Clashes End Negro Open Housing March
Hundreds of mostly white South Side residents clashed with police as tear gas scattered crowds after a Negro open housing march. Nineteen people were arrested and three injured as whites fired bricks and wood, while police used tear gas to disperse demonstrations following the 14th straight day of action. The largest civil rights march in Milwaukee’s history had just passed the viaduct when violence erupted in the South Side business district. Reverend James E. Groppi, leading the protests, was invoked as the crowd called for him.
