On this day in 1965, riots begin in the Watts section of Los Angeles:
The Watts riots (or, collectively, Watts rebellion)[1] were race riots that took place in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles from August 11 to 17, 1965.
On August 11, 1965, a black motorist was arrested for drunk-driving, and a minor roadside argument suddenly turned into a riot. There followed six days of looting and arson, especially of white-owned businesses, and police needed the support of nearly 4,000 members of the California Army National Guard. There were 34 deaths and over $40 million in property damage. The riots were blamed principally on unemployment, although a later investigation also highlighted police racism. It was the city’s worst unrest until the Rodney King riots of 1992.
What’s this neighborhood like now, a half-century later? See, Watts, 50 Years On, Stands in Contrast to Today’s Conflicts.
