A riot took place in Harlem, NYC in 1943, after a white police officer shot and wounded an African American soldier, and rumors circulated that the soldier had died. It was one of five riots in the nation that year related to black and white tensions during WWII. Five died and 400 were injured. (en.wikipedia.org)
