African American citizens in North Minneapolis begin a sometimes violent demonstration against police brutality along Plymouth Avenue that starts at about 11:30 P.M. and lasts for two nights. After a pause, a second wave of demonstrating begins that night after Samuel Simmons, an African American, is shot during an argument in a Northside bar. Governor Harold LeVander calls in 150 national guardsmen to maintain the peace, and the toll for both nights is three people shot, two policemen and one fireman injured, thirty-four people arrested, and four businesses burned to the ground.
