ADVANCE FOR USE SUNDAY, JULY 16, 2017 AND THEREAFTER-This June 6, 2017 photo shows Girard Townsend in Detroit. The 66-year-old recalls the looting of shops in some Detroit neighborhoods during the 1967 riot. "Everything was burning. People were running around with clothes in their hands, TVs and all kinds of stuff," Townsend said. "They were stealing and burning up their own stores. I was in part of the looting. I stole a television from a furniture store. We stole liquor and stuff. I watched it. I lived it. I was part of it." (AP Photo/Corey Williams)
