3 Chapter 10 Fighting Poverty

Chapter 10 Fighting Poverty Even with the right to vote, even with the right to sit anywhere on a bus or eat in any restaurant, black people were struggling. Too many did not have jobs. And those with jobs weren't making enough to live decently. They lived in homes with no heat and leaky pipes. Many people were sick and did not have money to see a doctor. Black people were angry.

days. Finally, the U.S. Army was called in to stop the violence. WATTS RIOTS On AUGUST 11, 1965, A BLACK MAN NAMED MARQUETTE FRYE WAS PULLED OVER WHILE DRIVING On A CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY. A POLICE OFFICER LATER SAID HE WAS DRIVING DANGEROUSLY. AS THE POLICE QUESTIONED FRYE AND HIS BROTHER, A GROUP OF PEOPLE GATHERED. THEY WERE ANGRY. SOME PEOPLE BEGAN TO SHOUT AT THE OFFICERS. THEY SAID THE FRYE BROTHERS WERE ONLY PULLED OVER BECAUSE THEY WERE

天。最后，美国军队被召集来制止暴力。 1965年8月11日，一位名叫马奎特·弗莱的黑人在加州高速公路上开车时被警察拦下。 一名警官后来说，他当时驾驶很危险。 当警察审问弗莱和他的兄弟时，一群人聚集在一起。 他们很生气。一些人开始对警察大喊大叫。 他们说弗莱兄弟被拦下是因为他们
