The actions of a few idiots who launched an out riot in order to stick it to the "man" under the guise of the Civil Rights Movement doomed generations to come in this once great city.
I know a few elderly Italians who used to go to these schools such as First Ave, Barringer, North 13th in the 50s when they were quite exceptional schools for students who wanted a future for themselves and not the stereotypical ghetto cesspools we have today.
Watching these old clips is fascinating. I was born in Western Canada, in a time and place that was only White, with a few piss drunk Indians at the Rodeo once a year. I never set eyes on a real live adult Black male until I was about 14 yrs old, and that was on a lame ass bus tour to Disneyland. The idea that mobs of Blacks would burn and loot entire neighborhoods was simply unimaginable.
What was the name of that song by Thelonious Monk? My grandparents lived in Newark in those days and it brought memories since I first visited Newark in 1969 when I was 7. Wished there was footage of Hugh Addonizio the mayor.
Folks, this is the result of revolution and Marxism. Whats sad now is that these revolutionaries and marxist are now grown up and wear suits and hold major roles in govt. It happened in NYC, Detroit, Watts, LA,. It could very well happen again.
@Joesavana Thanks for the upload! By the way, I really do hope that Newark will get MUCH better and have a MUCH better image for big cities in the United States, even though it has gone through a LOT of problems over the years, especially after the riots of 1967.

@carlmelanson1 That is such a mean and insensitive thing to say. It is not the natural character of a black man to desecrate anything - the black man had and has been desecrated by the white man for hundreds of years and because of that desecration there exists a kind of symbiotic pathology among both the Back and White race.
joe why da fuck are u playing some ole count bassie shit, why not some curtis mayfield, dam boy, and why just the slums of newark even in the 60s newark had some decent placeses asshole, and wth that being said nice vid
I'd like to step back from the subject of Newark for a moment and point out that the jazzy upbeat music that has been placed on this series of clips could not be more thematically irrelevent to the clips themselves. The only perceptible link is that the clips are "old," like the music. But the bleakness of the clips is overwhelming and the music is too energetic. I'd also like to ask whether the cameraman, Joseph Sarto, is related to Giuseppe Sarto, Pope Pius X.
i lived in newark most of my life but left in 2001. what you all are missing is the difference in population density and class. "down neck" you have a lot of homes where in the other sections of newark you have extremely poor unemployed people housed in high rise projects stretching for blocks and blocks with no jobs in sight.
it's just very sad but hopefully not still this way. shout out to oliver street school! thank you for the video.
I grew up below poverty level in a "ghetto" but didn't know it was a ghetto because the people kept what little they had clean. Being poor doesn't mean being dirty. You trash your place, because you a slob.
My father loved Newark, but Marxist scum like Hayden & Carmichael brought in criminal marxist outsiders and destroyed the city. He tried to stay in business but the scumbags murdered so many business owners or broke in so many times everyone who was still alive gave up and left in the 70's.
Ironbound is still good because of the porkchops. That's the only part of town I'll go to. Bastards destroyed the city now they have destroyed Irvington, East Orange,&Orange
Yes I know I still live in the area, they are ruining Union now & the before mentioned towns. Porkchops is slang for Portugesse, yes ironbound is still ok, Ive been to Iberia, Little Spain Tony DeConecto's and some of the others
The question is can the good people of all races put a stop to all this nonsense?
As soon as I can, I'm going to clear out from where I am, because I see the same stuff starting to happen to the outlying suburbs of Newark, the cancer creeps closer every year.
Me and my cousin did a Coca Cola delivery route in the ironbound and iberia's was one of them. i was there when Cory Booker was campaining in my projects, he lost, then ran again and won. I think he is working hard to improve Newark. He recieved Sharpe James garbage to clean up!
Duh, of course James been in office for over 20 years in Newark, Cory Booker less than 5 years. Cory is spending those first few years cleaning up James mess. Yes, james did do a lot of good for newark (downtown improvement mostly) but James also did a lot of neglect, its not a question of what he did, its about what he didnt do.

I live in Newark, i moved here from the Bronx. I realize that I made a bad decision in doing so. This town is full of lazy inefficient mail carriers, dope heads and bums looking to get something for nothing. Not that we don't have that back in the Bronx, but it is much worse here. The cops don't care whether you live or die just as long as you don't do it in front of them. This town is a disgrace, I'm moving back to the BRONX ASAP! This Summer
In your video I spotted the old bowling alley (which is no longer there) on Bloomfield Ave. Newark has come a long way since 1967. Although, having grown up in Newark and lived through the riots, there is still a lot of work to do there. I no longer live there, but as they say you could take the girl out of Newark, but you can't take Newark out of the girl. ;D
Why is it that, when those with history and knowledge post anything the crazies that don't agree cannot do anything but name-call. Jerzee is a perfect example of this
@ KOOLDAVE1953 you apparently dont know your history. Newark may not be the most desireable place by today's standards but it holds plenty history and if you knew the reasons why the city has deteriorated over the decades you would be more empathetic. You are a very ignorant person.
I know the history there. It's a shame that it disintegrated into the hole it is today. I also worked there and was scared to death each time I had a meeting there. Disgusting filthy place that residents allowed to run down. No one else did it ...period
@ CircusMaximus09 - Based on your reply, I doubt you know WHY the city deteriorated. There were politics involved, many years of poor financial planning by city officials, populations of people moved after the riots which hurt the city's economy, etc. You WORKED in newark, which means you know nothing about the city's culture, diversity and the different neighborhoods. You probably know nothing about the city's people so how can you judge them. DONT base your opinions on media and hearsay.
Oh so sorry but I do know the history of the leadership there...since the 60s on up. I was there during the riots.I knew the politicians and what they did-a few actually went to jail for it. But the assholes there keep voting in worthless and dishonest candidates so you are getting what you ask for! BTW-why is the ironbound so extraordinary and the rest of the city a burnt out war zone? I can tell you-garbage in...garbage out
And you aren't? What do you actually know about Newark? It's history, it's people? Obviously nothing otherwise you wouldn't fling names like that...what race are you accusing me of being?
No its not, Newark is safer than cities like (Camden, Trenton). its suburban trash like u that causes these problems. Ur bitch ass probably never ever been 2 Newark and know NOTHING about this city
I was born and raised on the south side of Newark and as an adult lived in North newark so I know first-hand that the disparity still exists. Its interesting how some things never change. I'm not saying north newark is so beautiful and peaceful but lets just say I felt safer walking down the street at night in north newark than on south orange ave.
yeah north newark is the part thats cool to live right next to bloomflied city i was living in berkely ave right by the st. francis church and there are a few itilians ans spanish people living there but fortunally i'm now living in atlantic city ,nj it's beautiful out here!
I ain´t trying to hate or hurt no one but the black neighborhood in this video look just like a ZONGO area in Africa. Ask any true African you will know that am not lying or hating.
Newark aka Brick city is a shitty ass fuckin town!!!! who da fuck would want to live in a city that's FULL of murderers, dropouts, drug dealers, criminals, dirtiness, robbers, car thieves, unintelligent people, low lives etc etc etc the list goes on. THATS NOTHING TO BE PROUD OF!!!!!!!!!! Newark don't go hard! Go hard on what? Being low lives?? Go hard on being drop outs? Ya should be embarrassed!, Ya are a disgrace! Get GO TO SCHOOL!! MAKE SOMETHING OF YOURSELVES!
this is racist the parts with the white people are in color an the black pepole are in black an white what's up with that an to me since the tall buildings are gone newark has gotten better not saying it wae ever that bad living in newark is what you make it i been living in newark all my life an i'm just fine..an all that saying newark was peaceful until the niggers came you need to shut the fuck up you cracker jack
please on behalf of all niggaz SHUT THE FUCK UP da camera was in black and white in the black areas because its home movies you dick thats all the black people could afford
fuck up cause your white women love the niggers an also you people are the main ones coming over here looking for the he\shes an got a wife at home so keep your month close you fucking cracker jack
1561B, if you didn't type, we would have never found out what a dumb ass you reaaly are. I am glad you did have your say. I would ask where your grammer is, but you would probabaly say, your grammer lives in flo. Now, call the laundry and show them what a real load looks like. Dude, I most likely kicked your fathers ass back in the day, oops, forgot, you never met him now did you?
wrong! try Baltimore, MD, and or Philly, PA, hey don't leave out New Haven, CT or Bridgeport, CT. Who can forget Paterson, NJ or Camden, Ghettyoooo!!!!
Na, just was a part of Newark for forty five years and seen what it can be like. I saw some mobsters pouring pails of water in the passiac river. I asked them why, they said, "The bodies were starting to show. I was a part of the Polizzi clan.
You Donkeys...saying Newark is ghetto, hehe Some parts used to be and still are nice (North Newark) and long ago Newark was boomin and one year the corner of Broad and market St. was the busiest corner in America.
i can agree with the weequaic section being ok. I lived in that area a while ago and the block I stayed on is still nice to this day. I think in part because most of the residents are homeowners that actually live in their house and not someone who lives in the burbs whose just renting the place out to whomever
I heard, they are trying to make Newark the next Hoboken. They're talking about building Brownstones, putting a Walmart on Springfield and Jones Street. I was going to work downtown one night and saw white folk out walking their dogs. Mulberry street is already gone, not a memory left. My momma use to take me down there when I was a kid.
We all entitled to or opinion, we all have a different ideas. We all have to live in one other shoes to really live it. Why we have to always judge. If we just mind our business and help who need help. Do the right thing, make the right choice, if not give love to our kids, do you thing they learned to be racist. They learned it from history. Either from their parents or TV. This all can change.
I lived in Newark at S. 20th and Clinton until 1965, when my dad became a firefighter in the city. We then left and not a minute too soon. Whereas the neighborhood I was in consisted of poor folks, it was nevertheless perfectly nice as I recall. Now it is virtually uninhabitable.
I loved the retrospective, but object to the implication by contrast that the black areas were descrated by something other than black folks.
I don't mean to seem mean spirited...quite the opposite...I have nothing but sympathy for good folks caught in such bad circumstances...then and now. To some degree liberal...even if well intentioned...are at the root. The minute incentive to work and consequences for reproductive irresponsibility are removed, you get what we now see. And only the black community can fix it.
yea true cuz almost my whole family was born and raised in newark when it use to be "nice"
and when u would be able to not have to lock ur front door cuz sum 1 wouldnt have done sumthing stupid like that ..... im not trying to be racist and IM NOT but it was much safer until it got "dark"
i mean the problem in all african american communities is that we dont appericate what we have we should be using everything that we have taking advantage of living in a city
Tony was a fat ignorant stoonad kickback takin italian numbskull but he was my mothers friend..oh well - from an oldschool italian in Newark. I love Newark but its totally different now from when I grew up.
well now if you drive from lake av and Bloomfield av all the way down to Grafton av it looks like those homes belong to really rich people and is so quite but if you drive all Summer av and Broadway av it looks like a shithole,north newarks is getting better tough south newark i dont care about it,it looks the same shithole sonce the riots and the ironbound area Ferry st and around is a great place to live mostly portugues and south american people that love to live in a peaceful atmosphere
Yeah, Ironbound has all the Brazilian bars abd restaurants. That area is ok, but the rest of the neighborhoods in the city, with the exception of one or two, look like total shit. I did some construction work last year around the border of Newark and East Orange. That area looks like Baghdad on a shitty day. What a shithole.
And your stupid ass believes that's true!!! Get a grip. I was born and still live in Newark, and just like most urban areas, if you don't bother, you won't get bothered. In other words don't start none won't be none. Nuf said.
You know, it breaks my heart to see how bad things really are. I have lived in Newark all my life and although it was bad back in the 80's, it's much worse now. I have to admit that i do not feel safe, even while sitting on my own porch. I remember when we didn't have to worry about gangs (Blood and Crip), back then there were posse's (Prince St, Bedrock, etc.) Even with Booker's promises, I don't see a come up at all. It's gonna take years to turn Newark around
thats the thing a change that big isnt going to happen in one day and its more than one problem because even if you get rid of the gangs you need to get people jobs improve the schools and all that good stuff
I totally agree with that and it's sad to say that although we as a community want to see a change, we don't come together and do something about taking our city back. We are just sitting at waiting for one person to make a move and then we might follow through. Other than that, I think there is a fear factor-people are just afraid to speak upon things for fear of retaliation.
And yet if given the choice many James would be re-elected. Corrupt politicians like to stir the pot for their own greed. You don't hear of Sharpton or Jackson pushing an agenda for education, family values, and respect. Instead they want to target the 'man'. And anyone who isn't in lock-step with them is labeled a 'sell-out'
Mayor Booker should be held up as an example of what education can do.
Finally there will be some form of justice now that Sharpe James has been indicted for shady land deals he provided for friends and relatives. His administration was so blatantly corrupt I couldn't understand how the government could let him get away with ripping the city off. It's about time, now he has to show how he became a multi-millionaire on a teachers pension and a mayors salary. That bastard had all the blacks in Newark under his spell while they continued to live like peasants.
All that mattered then was that Jame's machine brought in the votes for the state Democratic Party so long as he did that his corruption wasn't important. Trenton has never given a damn about Newark and never will.
I lived in the Colonnade apts & moved in '66. What came out of this? NOTHING! Blacks looked foolish and were hostage to Leroy Jones and others. There was NO EXCUSE for Addonzio. Gibson FUCKED UP NEWARK EVEN MORE! "Extra" Sharpe James. A school teacher who left office a millionaire. Hmmmm, does that add up? Sharpe did some good, then HE LOST HIS MIND! God bless Corey Booker, a target since he's educated, light-skinned & uses English correctly. Right on to flacman77, superman39, JTW82. Peace.
Sharpe James is a criminal, and he's the worst mayor Newark ever had. According to my father, the best mayor Newark ever had was some guy named Impreviduto in the 70's.
newark never had a mayor call impreviduto from the 30s on it was ellenstien, murphy, villani, carlin, addonizio, gibson, james, booker, all ethically challenged except for cory booker
we have choices in life...don't have kids until you are prepared to have one (educated, enough income)...pick good mothers and fathers for our children...if you hit a rough spot in life, don't keep having babies!!! That is only kicking yourself while you are down...this would be a good start to make the white and black areas look more alike.
Amazing footage. It is sad though that the majority of the footage was filmed in desolate run down areas. Newark had several beautiful areas then and now. Was this after the riots?
I respectfully disagree, I'm in Newark all he time- most of the "good" neighborhoods shown in this vid have now deteriorated. True, the riot torn central ward is not as bad (could't really have gotten worse)
the white neighbothoods are micer because they worked for a living, didnt kill their own, had pride in what they had. But our people just want to bang, and throw up gang signs. Get a fuckin clue. It aint a white-black thing, all these young niggas stupid as fuck.
if this city didnt have riots and Newark would have a population of 500,000

If you bulldoze black neighborhoods and replaced them with nice condos and white people moved in, the neighborhoods would stay beautiful and clean for decades to come; if you bulldozed them and filled the condos with black people, they would end up looking like a ghetto in no time, graffiti and garbage everywhere. It's the natural character of a black man to desecrate everything that has been made by whites, even if it's for their own good. They will never be civilized, even Lincoln knew that.

Ironbound is still good because of the porkchops. That's the only part of town I'll go to. Bastards destroyed the city now they have destroyed Irvington, East Orange,&Orange
South & West Orange are next

Hi Gilbert
Yes I know I still live in the area, they are ruining Union now & the before mentioned towns. Porkchops is slang for Portugesse, yes ironbound is still ok, Ive been to Iberia, Little Spain Tony DeConecto's and some of the others
The question is can the good people of all races put a stop to all this nonsense?
As soon as I can, I'm going to clear out from where I am, because I see the same stuff starting to happen to the outlying suburbs of Newark, the cancer creeps closer every year.

Me and my cousin did a Coca Cola delivery route in the ironbound and iberia's was one of them. i was there when Cory Booker was campaining in my projects, he lost, then ran again and won. I think he is working hard to improve Newark. He recieved Sharpe James garbage to clean up!

Duh, of course James been in office for over 20 years in Newark, Cory Booker less than 5 years. Cory is spending those first few years cleaning up James mess. Yes, james did do a lot of good for newark (downtown improvement mostly) but James also did a lot of neglect, its not a question of what he did, its about what he didnt do.

I live in Newark, i moved here from the Bronx. I realize that I made a bad decision in doing so. This town is full of lazy inefficient mail carriers, dope heads and bums looking to get something for nothing. Not that we don't have that back in the Bronx, but it is much worse here. The cops don't care whether you live or die just as long as you don't do it in front of them. This town is a disgrace, I'm moving back to the BRONX ASAP! This Summer

In your video I spotted the old bowling alley (which is no longer there) on Bloomfield Ave. Newark has come a long way since 1967. Although, having grown up in Newark and lived through the riots, there is still a lot of work to do there. I no longer live there, but as they say you could take the girl out of Newark, but you can't take Newark out of the girl. ;D

CircusMaximus09 3 years ago
@ CircusMaximus09 - Based on your reply, I doubt you know WHY the city deteriorated. There were politics involved, many years of poor financial planning by city officials, populations of people moved after the riots which hurt the city's economy, etc. You WORKED in newark, which means you know nothing about the city's culture, diversity and the different neighborhoods. You probably know nothing about the city's people so how can you judge them. DONT base your opinions on media and hearsay.
JerzeeGrind 3 years ago
Oh so sorry but I do know the history of the leadership there...since the 60s on up. I was there during the riots.I knew the politicians and what they did-a few actually went to jail for it.

I lived in Newark at S. 20th and Clinton until 1965, when my dad became a firefighter in the city. We then left and not a minute too soon. Whereas the neighborhood I was in consisted of poor folks, it was nevertheless perfectly nice as I recall. Now it is virtually uninhabitable.
I loved the retrospective, but object to the implication by contrast that the black areas were descrated by something other than black folks.

I have to admit that i do not feel safe, even while sitting on my own porch. I remember when we didn't have to worry about gangs (Blood and Crip), back then there were posse's (Prince St, Bedrock, etc.) Even with Booker's promises, I don't see a come up at all. It's gonna take years to turn Newark around

I totally agree with that and it's sad to say that although we as a community want to see a change, we don't come together and do something about taking our city back. We are just sitting at waiting for one person to make a move and then we might follow through. Other than that, I think there is a fear factor-people are just afraid to speak upon things for fear of retaliation.

And yet if given the choice many James would be re-elected. Corrupt politicians like to stir the pot for their own greed. You don't hear of Sharpton or Jackson pushing an agenda for education, family values, and respect. Instead they want to target the 'man'. And anyone who isn't in lock-step with them is labeled a 'sell-out'
Mayor Booker should be held up as an example of what education can do.

Finally there will be some form of justice now that Sharpe James has been indicted for shady land deals he provided for friends and relatives. His administration was so blatantly corrupt I couldn't understand how the government could let him get away with ripping the city off. It's about time, now he has to show how he became a multi-millionaire on a teachers pension and a mayors salary. That bastard had all the blacks in Newark under his spell while they continued to live like peasants.
