People walk on street outside the damaged shops. Broken glass on the ground. African American men who are the accused rioters come out of police cars and paddy wagons to enter a court room.

A Mayor's Commission investigated the cause and issued a report, "The Negro in Harlem: A Report on Social and Economic Conditions Responsible for the Outbreak of March 19, 1935." The report concluded that the riot was spontaneous and had no organized leadership behind it. It also identified "injustices of discrimination in employment, the aggressions of the police, and the racial segregation" as conditions leading to the riot.)
