Revolution ’67 October 23, 2009 New Jersey State Police, Hamilton, NJ
"One of the many things that we have to do is we have to understand the core issues of what precipitates some of the issues and some of the violence that we have to deal with as law enforcement. And understanding these problems is paramount in combatting this activity. To understand the factors that ignited the civil unrest of that time should give us a template now to react differently and to respond differently."
"I feel that the viewing of Revolution ’67 gave our present commanders a unique retrospective view on the State Police role during the Newark Riots."
"With our viewing of this video [Revolution ’67] it actually emphasized how our response and role would be markedly different."
- Maj. Gerald Lewis, NJ State Police (Newark Poverty Reduction Conference)
