1984 Lawrence, Massachusetts riot
text:
The 1984 Lawrence, Massachusetts riot caused mass unrest and destruction in Lawrence, Massachusetts’ Lower Tower Hill neighborhood. Between August 8th and 10th, 1984, Lawrence’s white and Latino residents fought back and forth as they yelled out racial slurs, threw rocks, and hurled Molotov cocktails through the sky. Eventually, the violence quelled on Friday, August 10th, when Lawrence’s city council declared a state of emergency, but the riot's impact was long-lasting.
