Strike the Hammer: The Black Freedom Struggle in Rochester, 1940-1970 In-Person

On July 24, 1964, chaos erupted in Rochester. Strike the Hammer, by Laura Warren Hill, examines the unrest—rebellion by the city's Black community and rampant police brutality—that would radically change the trajectory of the Civil Rights movement. The author examines Rochester's long Civil Rights history and offers detailed stories of the area's protest tradition. Registration required.

A Zoom link will be sent the day of the event.
