The Hough Uprising | Cleveland African American Civil Rights Trail

The Hough Uprising, also known as the Hough Riots, occurred in the summer of 1966 in Cleveland, Ohio. It is said to have been the result of a dispute in a café at E. 79th and Hough Avenue. Whatever the case, days of vandalism, looting, arson, and gun violence, stemming from years of racial tension and discrimination against black residents, resulted. Five days of violence ended with four people dead, 50 injured, and 275 arrested. The event made a lasting impact on the city. The Hough Uprising is still a reminder today that Cleveland’s poverty level remains unacceptably high and that the twin issues of racism and poverty continue to plague the city’s legacy. Among other site, it has been chosen as a site of significant on Cleveland's African American Civil Rights Trail.
