Episode 514: Riots, A Knickerbocker History

In the second episode of FAQ NYC’s new three-part special series, A Knickerbocker History of America, Katie Honan, Harry Siegel and guest cohost Asad Dandia, the Brooklyn borough historian, sat down in front of a live audience at P&T Knitwear to discuss just three of the city’s many, many “riots” — “a violent disturbance of the peace by a crowd” — and how the Harlem riot of 1934, the hardhat riot of 1970 and the The Patrolmen's Benevolent Association Riot of 1992 — and how each was understood at the time and in hindsight.
