One digital scan of a black and white photograph which shows a row of stores that are burning during the 1967 Detroit Riot. The image looks west on Joy Road toward the intersection at American Avenue and shows a row of one-story brick buildings with various small stores/shops. One or more of the buildings is on fire and a Detroit Fire Department aerial truck is being used to spray water onto the roof. A crowd of onlookers is standing at the street corner in the right foreground. Fire department trucks have blocked the street in the left background. A sign for "Schmidt's Market" is visible in front of one of the stores.
