The student strike and subsequent police riot which took place on November 17th, 1967 in Philadelphia started with a walkout of Black high school students who gathered in front of the Board of Education building on Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The students demanded better school conditions, an updated curriculum to include Black Studies, and more Black school administrators. However, the protest was broken up by almost 400 police officers wielding clubs, led by Commissioner Frank Rizzo; the violent dispersal of the protest would lead to at least two civil lawsuits alleging the use of excessive force. The demonstration was part of a larger trend of racial tension and unrest in the United States during the 1960s and early 1970s stemming from the closure of public schools to African American student attendance in at least one state in the southern United States of the latter 1950s. Numerous small segregationist, separatist, White Nationalist groups had been demonstrating at the Philadelphia School Board regularly in opposition to integration of the schools. The events of the 17th of November changed all hints of racist domination of the schools.
