Гражданские беспорядки между 6 и 14 апреля 1968 года
Civil unrest between April 6 and 14, 1968
The Baltimore riot of 1968 was a period of civil unrest that lasted from April 6 to April 14, 1968, in Baltimore. The uprising included crowds filling the streets, burning and looting local businesses, and confronting the police and national guard. The immediate cause of the riot was the April 4 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee, which triggered unrest in over 100 cities across the United States. These events are sometimes described as the Holy Week Uprising. Black Baltimore was quiet on April 5, despite riots in nearby Washington, D. C. One white student at UMBC reported a quiet scene, with noticeable sadness, but little violence or unrest: April 5, "in many cases, was just another day". Baltimore remained peaceful into the day on April 6. Three hundred people gathered peacefully around noon for a memorial service, which lasted until 2 p. m. without incident. Street traffic began to increase. A crowd formed on Gay St. in East Baltimore, and by 5 p. m. some windows on the 400 block had been smashed. Police began to move in. People began to report fires after 6 p. m. Soon after, the city declared a 10 p. m. curfew and called in 6,000 troops from the national guard. Sales of alcohol and firearms were immediately banned. By the morning of April 7, reports to the White House described five deaths, 300 fires, and 404 arrests. Unrest also broke out on Pennsylvania Ave in West Baltimore. The combined National Guard and police force proved unable to contain the uprising. On Sunday, April 7, federal troops were requested, and the President invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807. Late that evening, elements of the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, began arriving on the scene, while several Marine units from Camp Lejeune were put on standby status. With the intervention of federal forces, the Maryland National Guard was called into federal duty, resulting in a shift from state control (reporting to the Governor of Maryland) to federal control (reporting through the Army chain of command to the President). The federal force, Task Force Baltimore, was organized into three brigades and a reserve. These were (roughly), the XVIII Airborne Corps troops, the Maryland National Guard, and troops from the 197th Infantry Brigade from Fort Benning, Georgia (which arrived two days later). The 1,300 troops of the Maryland Air National Guard were organized in a provisional battalion and used to guard critical infrastructure throughout the city, as well as an ad hoc detention facility at the Baltimore Civic Center. Task Force Baltimore peaked at 11,570 Army and National Guard troops on April 9, of which all but about 500 were committed to riot control duties. These forces had received orders to avoid firing their weapons, as part of an intentional strategy to decrease fatalities. Task Force Emergency Headquarters Brigade

Балтиморские беспорядки 1968 года — период гражданских беспорядков, продолжавшихся с 6 по 14 апреля 1968 года в Балтиморе. Беспорядки включали толпы, заполонившие улицы, поджоги и грабежи местных предприятий, а также столкновения с полицией и национальной гвардией. Непосредственной причиной беспорядков стало убийство 4 апреля Мартина Лютера Кинга-младшего в Мемфисе, штат Теннесси, что спровоцировало беспорядки в более чем 100 городах Соединенных Штатов. Эти события иногда называют восстанием Святой недели. 5 апреля в афроамериканском районе Балтимора было спокойно, несмотря на беспорядки в соседнем Вашингтоне. Один белый студент из UMBC сообщил о спокойной обстановке, с заметной грустью, но малым количеством насилия или беспорядков: 5 апреля "во многих случаях был просто обычным днем". Балтимор оставался мирным до дня 6 апреля. Около полудня мирно собрались 300 человек на поминальную службу, которая продолжалась до двух часов дня без происшествий. На улицах начало увеличиваться движение. На улице Гей в Восточном Балтиморе образовалась толпа, и к 5 вечера некоторые окна в квартале 400 были разбиты. Полиция начала выдвигаться вперед. Люди начали сообщать о пожарах после 6 вечера. Вскоре после этого в городе был объявлен комендантский час в 22:00 и введен 6000 военнослужащих национальной гвардии. Продажа алкоголя и огнестрельного оружия была немедленно запрещена. К утру 7 апреля в Белый дом поступили сообщения о пяти погибших, 300 пожарах и 404 арестах. Беспорядки также вспыхнули на Пенсильванской авеню в Западном Балтиморе. Объединенные силы национальной гвардии и полиции оказались не в состоянии сдержать восстание. В воскресенье, 7 апреля, были запрошены федеральные войска, и президент применил Закон о подавлении мятежей 1807 года. Поздним вечером в тот день начали прибывать на место подразделения XVIII воздушно-десантного корпуса из Форт-Брэгга, штат Северная Каролина, в то время как несколько подразделений морской пехоты из лагеря Лежюн были приведены в состояние повышенной готовности. С вмешательством федеральных сил Национальная гвардия Мэриленда была призвана на федеральную службу, что привело к переходу от государственного контроля (подчинения губернатору Мэриленда) к федеральному контролю (подчинения через цепочку командования армии президенту). Федеральные силы, "Оперативная группа Балтимор", были организованы в три бригады и резерв. В их состав входили (приблизительно) войска XVIII воздушно-десантного корпуса, Национальная гвардия штата Мэриленд и войска 197-й пехотной бригады из Форт-Беннинга, штат Джорджия (которые прибыли через два дня). 1300 военнослужащих Национальной гвардии Мэриленда были организованы во временный батальон и использовались для охраны критической инфраструктуры по всему городу, а также временного места содержания под стражей в Балтиморском гражданском центре. 9 апреля численность Оперативной группы Балтимор достигла 11 570 военнослужащих армии и Национальной гвардии, из которых все, кроме примерно 500, были задействованы в операциях по контролю за беспорядками. Эти силы получили приказ воздерживаться от открытия огня, в рамках преднамеренной стратегии по снижению числа жертв.

People began to report fires after 6 p. m. Soon after, the city declared a 10 p. m. curfew and called in 6,000 troops from the national guard. Sales of alcohol and firearms were immediately banned. By the morning of April 7, reports to the White House described five deaths, 300 fires, and 404 arrests. Unrest also broke out on Pennsylvania Ave in West Baltimore. The combined National Guard and police force proved unable to contain the uprising. On Sunday, April 7, federal troops were requested, and the President invoked the Insurrection Act of 1807. Late that evening, elements of the XVIII Airborne Corps at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, began arriving on the scene, while several Marine units from Camp Lejeune were put on standby status. With the intervention of federal forces, the Maryland National Guard was called into federal duty, resulting in a shift from state control (reporting to the Governor of Maryland) to federal control (reporting through the Army chain of command to the President). The federal force, Task Force Baltimore, was organized into three brigades and a reserve. These were (roughly), the XVIII Airborne Corps troops, the Maryland National Guard, and troops from the 197th Infantry Brigade from Fort Benning, Georgia (which arrived two days later). The 1,300 troops of the Maryland Air National Guard were organized in a provisional battalion and used to guard critical infrastructure throughout the city, as well as an ad hoc detention facility at the Baltimore Civic Center. Task Force Baltimore peaked at 11,570 Army and National Guard troops on April 9, of which all but about 500 were committed to riot control duties. These forces had received orders to avoid firing their weapons, as part of an intentional strategy to decrease fatalities. Task Force Emergency Headquarters Brigade

The Baltimore riot of 1968 was a period of civil unrest that lasted from April 6 to April 14, 1968, in Baltimore. The uprising included crowds filling the streets, burning and looting local businesses, and confronting the police and national guard. The immediate cause of the riot was the April 4 assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in Memphis, Tennessee, which triggered unrest in over 100 cities across the United States. These events are sometimes described as the Holy Week Uprising. Black Baltimore was quiet on April 5, despite riots in nearby Washington, D. C. One white student at UMBC reported a quiet scene, with noticeable sadness, but little violence or unrest: April 5, "in many cases, was just another day". Baltimore remained peaceful into the day on April 6. Three hundred people gathered peacefully around noon for a memorial service, which lasted until 2 p. m. without incident.

Ущерб
В течение следующих нескольких дней погибли шесть человек, 700 получили ранения, а 5800 были арестованы. Тысяча малых предприятий были повреждены или ограблены. Ущерб имуществу, оцененный в денежном выражении, был более значительным в Вашингтоне (15 миллионов долларов), Балтиморе (12 миллионов долларов) и Чикаго (10 миллионов долларов), чем в любом другом городе. Кроме того, военнослужащий действующей армии погиб в дорожно-транспортном происшествии при возвращении из города. Во время беспорядков протестующие устроили более 1200 поджогов. Общий ущерб оценивался более чем в 12 миллионов долларов (что эквивалентно 77,5 миллионам долларов на сегодняшний день). Из числа арестованных 3488 были задержаны за нарушение комендантского часа, 955 – за взлом, 665 – за мародерство, 391 – за нападение и 5 – за поджог.
In the next few days, six people died, 700 were injured, and 5,800 were arrested. One thousand small businesses were damaged or robbed. Property damages, assessed financially, were more severe in DC ($15 million), Baltimore ($12 million), and Chicago ($10 million) than in any other cities. In addition, an active Army soldier died in a traffic crash while redeploying from the city. Rioters set more than 1,200 fires during the disturbance. Damage was estimated at over $12 million (equivalent to $77.5 million today). Of the arrests, 3,488 were for curfew violations, 955 for burglary, 665 for looting, 391 for assault, and five for arson.
Наследие
Одним из главных итогов восстания стало внимание, которое привлёк Агню, раскритиковав местных лидеров афроамериканского сообщества за недостаточные усилия по прекращению беспорядков. Эти заявления привлекли внимание Ричарда Никсона, искавшего кандидата в вице-президенты, способного противостоять предвыборной кампании Джорджа Уоллеса и его Американской независимой партии. В 1968 году Агню стал кандидатом в вице-президенты от Никсона. Восстание вспыхнуло преимущественно в афроамериканских районах Восточного и Западного Балтимора, где были нанесены значительные повреждения имуществу и имели место многочисленные грабежи. Многие из предприятий, разрушенных во время восстания, располагались вдоль основных торговых магистралей этих районов и часто принадлежали людям еврейского происхождения. Освещение событий в СМИ и академических кругах было недостаточным, отчасти из-за того, что произошедшее остаётся болезненным для участников тех событий.
One of the major outcomes of the uprising was the attention Agnew received when he criticized local black leaders for not doing enough to help stop the disturbance. These statements caught the attention of Richard Nixon, who was looking for someone on his ticket who could counter George Wallace's American Independent Party third party campaign. Agnew became Nixon's vice presidential running mate in 1968. The uprising had broken out mainly in the black neighborhoods of East and West Baltimore in which extensive property damage and looting occurred. Many of the businesses destroyed in the uprising were located along the main commercial avenues of the neighborhoods and were often owned by people of a Jewish background. Media and academic coverage of the events has been thin, partly because the event remains emotional for those involved.
