In this interactive presentation, the goal is to virtually tour, relive, and retell the historical transformation of Rochester's old 7th ward and to study the effects of racism and discriminatory policies and practices, which is argued to have caused the 1964 uprisings. With this understanding, we may gain insight in the recent uprisings in Ferguson and Baltimore in addition to understanding urban uprisings in general to inform anti-violence and anti-poverty efforts in New York State.
