The first full-scale report on a nearly
forgotten racial explosion that shattered
New York City's Harlem in August 1943.
has been documented in a new book. The
Hariem Biot af 1948. just published by
the Temple University Proas.
, .
W ritten by Dominic J. Capeci, Jr.,
associate professor of history at South
west Missouri State University, the book
presents disquieting insights into the
continuing urban problem of racial
antagonism and of the polities surround
ing ft.
President Franklin D . Roosevelt is
specially indicted for his attitudes aad
actions toward the disorder as Capeci
reveals the shortcomings of federal and
urban policies directed toward Blacks.
The leadership of New York Mayor
Fiorello H. LaGuardia is shown in a new
light and the author also provides a fresh
insight into the late Rev. Adam Clayton
Powell. Jr., then a New York councilman.
Tensions had mounted in several
sections of the United States during the
spring of 1943 as racial i
exacerbated by various discriminatory
practices in employment and social
services in a wartim e society which was
ostensibly united in the fight for dem
ocracy.
Finally, disorders erupted in Beau
mont. Texas; Mobile. Alabama; Loa
Angeles, and most devastatingly. in
Detroit.
Despite Mayor LaGuardia's attempts
to avert racial strife, his efforts were
ineffective and violence was therefore
inevitable. On August 1. Harlem explod
ed and within 12 hours, six persons were
daad. several hundred injured and some
$2 million worth of property destroyed.
Capoci also examines in historical per
spective a key event in white/Black
relations in the United States.
He
in depth the background of the
as well as wartime develop
ments. attitudes and actions of political
figures and the issues surrounding the
riot and its aftermath. His conclusions
bear relevance on the continuing urban
crisis in America's cities today.

N E W YORK -GO FOR YOURSELF
I flew back into Portland two days prior to the Blackout and that literally paralixed
New York and its surroundings cities over night. What has always mystified me about
New York is not necessarily its bigness, but rather, where are all those millions of
people going? There are more people on the streets of Manhattan between 12 4 a.m.
than I ’ve ever seen in Loa Angeles and San Francisco combined. Oh Well! I suppose if
New Yorkers did like and what everybody else does, they wouldn't be New Yorkers.
But aa progressive aa it's supposed to bo. then why doesn't it ever change? It's drug
problems are the same; its unemployment lines are just as long; its slum conditions are
viaably unchanged and its crime rate is still in the top three in the nation. It's a nice
place to visit but I certainly wouldn't make ft home.
I f you want to know where to go for fun in New York - Go for yourself!
I f you're into shows, plays, etc., Broadway and off Broadway are the places to go.
“The Whiz" is there, along with "Bubbling Brown Sugar”. The Village Gate still offers
the tope in Jasz entertainment. Just cheek the New York Thues and go and see who
you want.

Aa many of you know. I lived in the Bay area prior to coming to Portland four years
ago due to a job transfer. Since I've been here I've grown to appreciate Portland more
aad more ae time progresses. But the Bay area continues to improve its job problems,
its standard of living aad its minority business enterprises. I assure you. if I as to
leave Portland anytime soon, the Bey Area is just where you'd find me.
The Galaxy - is one of the hottest spots in the Bay. Located in Walnut Creek, a
suburb of Oakland, the music is disco; the atmosphere is classy and the service is good.
Beebe's Other Roam - Thia is a club with a split personality. Downstairs you have
disco aad upstairs you have a jam combo. Either way you go it’s a winner! Located in
Concord. 20 miles from Oakland. Just go!!
