Fifty-one years ago Asbury Park was burning, Music saved the city
This weekend marks the 51st anniversary of the civil unrest in Asbury Park. The riots from the July Fourth weekend in 1970 tore a city and the state of New Jersey in half. The damage to both the infrastructure and race relations in Asbury Park was intense and overwhelming.

The breakdown was described by those on both sides of the divided railroad tracks of Asbury Park as a “ticking time bomb”, it was going to happen and the question remained, when. Well it came to fruition on the July Fourth weekend in 1970.
