The Long, Hot Summer of 1967: A Forgotten Season of Riots and Urban Unrest Across America
On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast, Sam and Dave discuss the long, hot summer of 1967, a forgotten season of riots and urban unrest across America. The Book of Ecclesiastes says that there is nothing new under the sun.

The Long, Hot Summer of 1967 was the peak of urban unrest and rioting in the United States in the lead up to the 1968 election. While there are certainly a number of key differences, there are also a number of striking parallels that make the topic worthy of discussion and examination.
The long-term impact of the urban unrest of the summer of 2020 is unclear, but the long-term impact of the Long, Hot Summer of 1967 and related urban rioting was a victory for Richard Nixon in 1968, and a landslide re-election in 1972. One must resist the temptation to make mechanistic comparisons between the two, and we will refrain from doing so here. But the reader is encouraged to look for connections between these events and more recent ones.
