What cause the Harlem Riot of 1935?

Hello my name is Oscar Bermejo. I'm currently a student at LaGuardia Community College.This semester I'm currently enrolled in ENN195:Violence in American Art and Culture.This week blog is about "What cause the 1935 Harlem Riot. The 1935 Harlem Riot first started off when a little boy got caught for a minor case of shoplifting. In the meanwhile someone saw what has taken place and started to spread a rumor about it the child was beaten to death. People gather around the place but because of the simple rumor that was spread and the hearse that had happen to be parked around the same place where the allege beating of the kid to death had taken place.I guess that was the breaking point where they had enough of the brutality against their community and decide to riot against the stores. They were also probably fed up with the amount of people that were unemployed in this specific area, the prices of goods they couldn't afford and when they committed this crime, they said that this was the finally straw against them. Also how the rumor was spread and the truth not being out could have prevented the riot but this could have been an outlet for all the time they were feeling oppressed.
