Next month, 50 years will have passed since a violent uprising erupted in Newark, fueled by the anger of many black residents over police brutality, racism and corruption, as well as a broader sense of disenfranchisement. Over several days in July 1967, more than 20 people were killed and hundreds were injured.

Five decades after the riots, The New York Times is looking back on those days of unrest and examining the lasting influence they had on Newark going forward. We want to hear from you if you lived in Newark at the time or were otherwise affected by what happened. We invite your responses on these questions, which might be included in articles on the topic, and a reporter or editor from The Times might reach out for further reporting.
