PART6 The People's Organization For Progress (POP) held a Rally to commemorate the forty-third Anniversary of the 1967 Newark Rebellion on Monday, July 12, 2010, 5:30 PM at the Monument to those who died during the uprising, at the intersection of Springfield Avenue , 15th Avenue , and Irvine Turner Blvd. in Newark, New Jersey . Speakers at the rally included community leaders, activists, and family members and friends of those who died during the civil unrest. POP representatives and members spoke including the group's State Chairman Lawrence Hamm. "We continue to hold these annual commemorations, as we have done for more than twenty years, because we must never forget what happened at that time. You really can't understand what is going on in Newark and the nation today unless you have an understanding of happened during the rebellion," Hamm stated. |
