- This is a lost CBS 16mm Kinescope of the coverage of the Newark riots in 1967 that is on my schedule to restore along with an amazing collection of films I've uncovered on African American history that needs to be preserved.
See some of my collection at TVDAYS.com

Growing up during Newark riots sleeping on floor dare not to look out windows my parents were strict bout that , come out in morning National guard was sitting and sleeping on our porch it was bad Newark was so beautiful, never recovered 😢a shame my home town
Watch the sopranos movie they did a good job depicting it
I was a atleast a year old. I LOVE seeing old local (NYC) newscasts of this time!
I was only six years old during the turbulent summer of 1967.
Before my time but I remember the brick streets
Seems to be a memory lost about how Arthur E Johnson was murdered in his office. He was assassinated for being a black anti poverty activist, and left 12 children and a wife, to deal with the not knowing who did this. I will never let his memory die.
And the beat goes on!
This is a bit of a strange piece by WCBS. Its a self-congratulatory "look how great we are" retrospective program.
This was actually a retrospective of their coverage of the riots. It apparently did for them, in terms of prestige and, ultimately, ratings, what Geraldo Rivera's 1972 Willowbrook exposé did for WABC-TV and "Eyewitness News": propel them to the top. (In WCBS's case, this was buttressed by their landing Mike Douglas as the lead-in to their 6 P.M. news in the spring of 1968; in any event, WNBC began a slide that held - with some exceptions - for the next decade or so.)
That’s my major takeaway too.
Pretty sure this was an awards consideration reel, either for the New York Emmys or the Alfred duPont Awards. It was sent to committee members/voters, but it was never broadcast.
I lived two miles from there at the time, on the Newark/East Orange border. The whole area was affected by the uprising. So much tension. For an eight year old boy, I just took it in stride. Looking back, I see how monumental the episode was. Really sad so many years later, Newark still hasn't come back. "It's been a long time coming, but I do believe a change is gonna come." -- Sam Cooke
The wheel keeps rollin'.
Funny how things haven't changed in all these years.
Just think, these people are the grandparents of rioters today. Destroying and stealing anything that doesn’t belong to them. Keeping the family business alive
Wow @20:37 a young Chet Curtis who spent many years at WCVB-TV 5 in Boston. He married his co-anchor Natalie Jacobson and the duo were very popular newscasters in the 1970's and '80's as Chet and Nat....
This was pretty much the day any notion of the Summer of Love died. After this America was in a new reality.
We’d been there forever. Finally whites had to care.
And Newark has been a hell-hole ever since..
Meanwhile, Jersey City which suffered from similar racial tensions and violence is revitalizing and prosperous. It is close to becoming New Jersey’s largest city if current demographic trends continue unabated.
Newark is become heavily gentrified so that statement is grossly inaccurate.
I guess you been sleeping for the Past 5 years
What did you expect
They always destroy their own areas
The Last Italian mayor Hugh Addinizio was crooked Mayor they lead him down City Hall's famous stairs, in handcuffs the perp walk!!!!!😂😂😂😂😂
This must be a sales film for showing to prospective advertisers. I can't think of another reason WCBS would focus so much on its coverage versus the actual event.
The preemption notice around 10:10 sounds like the V/O was Art Hannes.
I remember Jim Jensen with his "long hot summer" cheeron for riots.
22:03 a much younger Chris Borgen
At least reporters called things how it was supposed to be, unlike nowaday with ridiculous political correctness when they are calling looters almost like angels .
i know jan 6 was crazy

nothing in comparison to the mostly peaceful
fentanyl floyd protests, where about 40 INNOCENT americans were KILLD
..youll PAYfor that
@@guesswhoscomingtoyoutube True, that Democrat staged event to justify the illegitimate President called Biden, was crazy treasonous.
Lol. Do you love Steadman talking about the problems "over there" in Newark, while devoting his story to the "outside agitators" coming to Newark?
The only thing that ever predicated a mass scale city wide riot are police brutality and government repression . All other riots and melee's are localized to a much smaller theatre of conflict
WCBS was quick and frequent to continually and repeatedly pat themselves on the back regarding their coverage 🙄.
Payback for Tulsa was a bych! 😀

Who owned the housing back then. I lived in newark and Irvington. I work in newark and other depressed cities in n j.
The Enterprising zone Tax cuts hasn’t done anything for residents.
Newark has gone silent for 50 years publicly. My heart will always be there for life.
Why does the focus of this program be that CBS is patting CBS on the back saying what a "great job" CBS is doing.?.very nice o CBS to tell us CBS is better than the rest Ok CBS lYou the best, happy now CBS
This show is a great example of those times when broadcast journalism was fighting to gain bigger credibility over the dominance of newspapers. But still, I couldn’t agree with you more. Turmoil, blood, & death in the streets…”but hey folks, look at these great reviews we got from the Daily News & Variety for our coverage”. As if it was all some demented Broadway play. Very warped priorities to say the least.
This was basically a documentary of Channel 2's coverage of the Newark riots, and the reaction to said coverage in "the papers." Said critical praise - plus, the next March, WCBS snagging Mike Douglas' syndicated gabfest - would help propel the station to first place in the early evening ratings over prior leader WNBC-TV by the end of 1968. (It would be another 3-4 years before WABC-TV - still dead last at this point, not yet having either gotten Roger Grimsby or rearranged its newscasts as "Eyewitness News" - surpassed the others. For them, it was Geraldo Rivera's look at the conditions at Willowbrook, combined with the station having gotten Frank Gifford after his CBS and WCBS-TV contracts ended, that brought them from worst to first, after being second for much of 1971.)
Systematic racism
Lol
These documentaries makes people think that life was terrible for every black person in Newark, and that is not the truth.
In the end there was no reason to destroy Newark. Nothing happened to cause those riots.
DNA HAPPENED
@@gregpettis1113 That's what they do
Slumlords not keeping up building
That doesn't warrant a riot
What street is that in the beginning
At 2:16? Belmont Avenue, just off Springfield. Harry’s Liquor was at 12 Belmont (now Irvine Turner Blvd).
City Hospital?
It became Martland
What street is that in the beginning
@@robbyel3958 1 block from 13th ave and Camden st
I was wondering what hospital they were bringing the injured too. Where was City Hospital located?
@@KameraChimera 65 Bergen Street, corner of 12th and Bergen.
Wow wcbs put their shoulders out of joint patting themselves on the back, nevermind the real problem
So what they are saying is that because one black guy died, tens of thousands of people looted and burned the streets? Nah bro that’s an economic problem, not just one dead black guy. Idc what you say ain’t that many people coming together and uniting as one all just for one random guy. When shit like this happens it’s because people are sick of being poor
It's all genetics.
That's exactly what someone from a racist country would say.
@@waltonsmith7210 Nothing wrong with racism
