DETROIT -- Wayne State University's Walter P. Reuther Library has shared never before seen home video footage of Detroit following the riots of 1967.

The footage was shot using an 8mm came camera by Ray Grudzinski, according to the library's Twitter and YouTube accounts. Check out the 3-minute video at the top of this page.

The Reuther is asking anyone interested in donating home footage to email reutherav@wayne.edu.

In the video, which is without sound, helicopters can be seen flying over the skyline, Army jeeps patrolling neighborhoods and deserted streets filled with piles of debris. Cars drive by burned out, desolated buildings -- some still smoldering -- as if nothing had happened days before.

Next year will mark the 50th anniversary of the Detroit Riots of 1967, which left 43 dead, 1,189 injured and more than 7,000 arrested. The damage done was substantial; amounting to between $287 and $323 million in 2016 dollar amounts.

The 49th anniversary of the beginning of the riots caused by police brutality, unemployment, segregation, racism and a lack of opportunity is Saturday, July 23.
