N1 - 98 N2 - In the second half of the 1960s black power organizations in Chicago rallied unprecedented numbers of young African Americans to participate in insurgent protest actions by focusing on the issue of police brutality. This essay demonstrates the ambiguous role played by anti-police protest to the broader civil rights struggle in Chicago, arguing that such an approach ultimately proved divisive for black communities and hampered them from pursuing a more ambitious agenda of demands. This was due, in large part, to the centrality of law-and-order politics within black Chicago, which made many key civic and religious leaders resistant to support anti-police protests UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-vingtieme-siecle-revue-d-histoire-2015-4-page-45?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
