This is an 8 page paper about the Harlem riot of 1935. Includes a ¾ page outline. The Harlem riot of 1935 was the result of years of racial discrimination, poor health care, bad housing, police violence, overcrowded schooling and unemployment which had plagued Harlem since the beginning of the Great Depression in 1929. Once an area of the African American renaissance in the 1920s, Harlem had become largely forgotten by the city of New York; a situation which was exaggerated by the housing and loan segregation brought about by the New Deal’s Federal Mortgage and Loans Program. In March 1935, a boy was caught stealing a knife from a Kresge’s store on 125th Street and the rumors of his beating led to rioting which lasted for two days. After the riot, Mayor La Guardia started a commission to study all the factors which led to the riot which eventually led to the introduction of several new health care and housing projects in addition to the appointed of several African Americans in advisory and political positions. Despite La Guardia’s best efforts, the situation in Harlem did not improve drastically and further racial tensions led to another riot in 1943.
