Photographer's caption: “Apprehensive federal troops are still on duty guarding buildings in downtown Detroit as dawn breaks on this riot-torn city. During the night Negro snipers stood off thousands of federal troopers, national guardsmen, and police in a 200-square block area of Detroit’s west side.”
