Review Analysis- Newark Riot 1967

After revisiting the first assignment and comparing it to the data visualizations, the text analysis only gave an overview of the riot while the data visualizations were more in-depth and a better understanding of the riot. The label that this riot was given and has not changed throughout the semester was an uprising. Uprising is a spontaneous upsurge of protest or violent expression of discontent, something with political content. There were previous events before the protest that involved the government creating tension in the black community and police brutality. With tension already there, the beating of the cab driver was the breaking point of the community. There were previous events before the protest that involved the government creating tension in the black community and police brutality. The text analysis helped to provide more reasoning behind the label given in the first analysis, which was reports and articles from mostly police present in the riot and government officials. The timeline and map also provided support by giving times and locations of events that included some events of police being assaulted by rioters or police using brutal force on civilians. The first analysis for the most part does fit the data visualizations. They include the same geographical spread, levels of government, and property damage listed.
