By the second day of the uprising, it was clear that the police would not be able to deescalate the ongoing conflict. Over 2000 members of the Ohio National Guard were called in to reinforce local law enforcement.

Each morning brought relative calm, but looting, vandalism and arson resumed with the setting sun. | Source: Cleveland Memory Project, Cleveland State University Library Special CollectionsDownload Original File
