The Beatles - 1964-09-02 - Philadelphia, PA (SBD)

Just days before the Beatles arrived in Philadelphia, the 10th stop on their 1964 Summer Tour of the US, the “City of Brotherly Love” failed to live up to its nickname. Race riots broke out across the city between August 28 and 30 over the issue of police brutality. As a result of the violence, 41 people were injured, 774 people were arrested and 225 stores were damaged or destroyed. The Beatles found clear evidence of the racial tension in the city, as the entire crowd of 12,037 who attended their show at Conventional Hall on September 2, 1964, 53 years ago today. was white. Download this soundboard recording to be reminded not only of Beatlemania, but also of a time when the civil rights movement, led by men such as Martin Luther King, John Kennedy and Bobby Kennedy, changed the face of America.
