FILE - In this July 25, 1967 file photo, women and children stroll past the burned remains of homes after riots in Detroit on July 23. The houses were a short distance from 12th Street, center of the riot activity. After the riots, a decline that had already begun would accelerate; Detroit was the nation's fourth biggest city in 1960, but would rank 21st by 2016. The middle class fled, and a proud city fell into poverty, crime and hopelessness. (AP Photo/File)

During the riots was the first time we learned how to hit the floor when we heard gunfire." Green now lives in St. Clair, northeast of Detroit. (AP Photo/Corey Williams)
