During the riots of
'67 the neighbourhood really took a hit.
A
couple of days after the riots settled down I had to go down
there to see what was left of the studio.
When I got there, I was
surrounded by total devastation.
Broken windows, burnt-out
buildings, etc. but there stood Tera Shirma without a scratch. Not even a cracked window. I
often wonder if the black rioters knew that a lot of brothers made
a living out of these premises?
