23 July 1967 - THE 12TH STREET RIOT BEGINS IN DETROIT: Tensions between
African American residents and the police flare in Detroit, Michigan,
during an early morning raid on a nightclub. Before the riot ends five
days later, 43 people will be killed, more than 300 injured, some 1,400
buildings burned, and more than 7,000 people will be arrested.

The precipitating event was a police raid of an unlicensed, after-hours
bar, known as a blind pig, on the city's Near West Side. It exploded
into one of the deadliest and most destructive social insurgences in
American history, lasting five days and surpassing the scale of
Detroit's 1943 race riot 24 years earlier.

Governor George W. Romney ordered the Michigan Army National Guard into
Detroit to help end the disturbance. President Lyndon B. Johnson sent in
the United States Army's 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions. The riot
resulted in 43 deaths, 1,189 injured, over 7,200 arrests, and more than
400 buildings destroyed.

  Grill the burgers until no longer pink in the middle,
  the cheese is melted, and the burgers show nice grill
  marks, 7 to 8 minutes per side.
  
  Serve burgers in heated kaiser rolls, with sliced onion,
  lettuce, and tomato on the side.
