Will Riots Happen In 1983?
Now that the predicted
riots for 1982 have failed to
materialize, attention has
been focused on next
summer. A Morehouse Col
lege professor has found a
formula for tracing periods
of Black unrest. On the
television series “Tony
Brown’s Journal,” Dr.
Robert Brisbane indicates
that a black revolt will hit
the country by 1983.
► In his book, “Black Ac
tivism” (Judson Press,
Valley Forge), Dr. Bris
bane outlines the periods of
Black revolts in America.
He says there have been
five major Black protest
movements in the United
States. “Protest move
ments have been the way
Blacks have made gains in
this country since 1865, but
even beyond that, since the
Revolutionary period,”
says Dr. Brisbane on the
television program, “Black
Revolt In the 80’s.”
Sociologists and econo
mists have predicted that
the harsh effects of Rea
ganomics and the growing
ranks of the impoverished
and unemployed would pro
vide the spark that would
ignite rioting in the nation’s
urban areas. Although one
out of three Black Ameri
cans is living in poverty, a
strong sentiment seems to
be prevalent in the Black
community: riots would be
counterproductive and use
less.
Benjamin Hooks, Execu
tive Director of the
NAACP, tells host Tony
Brown that urban violence
is a very real possibility,
but contends that whites
would also be involved be
cause they too are victims
of high unemployment and
inflation. “I’m not preach
ing violence, I don't be
lieve in it,” explains the
NAACP executive. “I think
it may be self-defeating,
but the possibility is
there. ”
The program filmically
highlights the fifth Black
protest period in America,
known as the Civil Rights
Movement or the Black Re
volution, featuring clips of
Dr. Martin Luther King,
Malcolm X and President
Kennedy.
