[edit] Photos

It might be impossible to find non-fairuse images for this article... but maybe some have been released for whatever reason, I'm just no good at finding them. --W.marsh 15:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Louisville only?

I'm just curious as to whether this article may apply to other cities as well, or did what happen in Louisville rise to its own singular notability? Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:12, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

After reading it more closely, I realize that this riot was separate from the King assassination riots. Maybe it could use a more specific name -- that's possibly what was throwing me off. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:30, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

This is just about the riot in Louisville. I was just using the title the Encyclopedia of Louisville gave, maybe Louisville riots of 1968 is better. There were riots in many cities in 1968, and riots don't tend to announce official names for themselves... so naming is a bit tricky. This specific one is referred to in a lot of different ways. --W.marsh 16:32, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

The alternative name sounds better. The Encyclopedia of Louisville, I would guess, would leave "Louisville" off the naming of things since the book is Louisville-specific. But to the world, I think a more specific name is expected. Just my two cents. Stevie is the man! ^{Talk • Work} 16:43, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Yeah probably, I hadn't really thought about the title enough. I'll move it later on today unless someone objects or has a better idea. --W.marsh 16:48, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Indianapolis had a very bad riot that year, and I am sure that several cities with large black populations had bad riots that year as well. This particular page could easily become a disambigation (sp?) page.--Bedford 16:52, 10 September 2006 (UTC)
