Riot Readings

There was a problem with scanning this documents this week: the equipment broke down and I couldn't make it back to campus today.

So we'll start on the actual LaGuardia archival documents next week (we have until the end of the term to do these readings). I'll bring a couple of the small documents to class for us to talk about and to get moving there.

FOR MONDAY: please read the first 32 pages of the article linked at right (there are several pages of pictures in it), "Oxford Thesis on 1935 Riot." There isn't actually 32 pages of text there. Nonetheless, if you find yourself stuck on one paragraph, move to the next one.

For a brief, easy overview of the riot, please read one or two of the following online sources:

1. Here for the Wikipedia entry.

2. Here for the  Britannica entry.

3. Here for one short blog and another about it.

4. This short newspaper memory of it.
