Farquhar Park

After July 18, 1969, the night Officer Schaad was wounded, violence within the city continued. The mayor, John Snyder, called for a state of emergency and imposed a curfew on July 19. Tensions continued to build and violence ensued. On July 20, 1969, a rally was held in Farquhar Park. This was the rally where several people say they heard Officer Charles Robertson shout "white power."
