One digital scan of a black and white photograph which shows several stores that have been destroyed by fire during the 1967 Detroit Riot. The image shows Governor George Romney (in white shirt) at the center foreground. He and two other men are walking across a street and reviewing the scene. A Detroit Fire Department truck, firemen, ruined buildings, and a Michigan State policeman can be seen in the background. The ruins of the Zerry Furniture store can be seen at the far right side of the photo.
