This riot made it so my elementary class couldn't go to the L.A. Zoo. Stupid riots. :)

this was when the city was only 15% mexican.

there's more blacks in sacramento than L.A. now. interesting how mexicans have moved them out.

I remember the LA riots on my Mom's B-day (April 29th) she's a native of Redondo Beach in the 1950s then Garden Grove in the 1960s, she grew up first in an area where she knew some Black, Hispanic, Asian (including a family who were in Manzanar during WW2), Pacific Islander & American Indian neighbors. The way Cal. used to be more comfortable with racial diversity, now all I hear about is more segregation & racial enclavism, esp. Blacks move out of urban areas they moved in around the 1950s. +

Mexicans came here to steal jobs from citizens....loot and riot when they can get away with it....and run blacks out of metro Los Angeles.

@fuckyou121212121212 And do you believe in phrenology too? Is the world flat or round to you? Tell you what, read Huck Finn & Invisible Man before presenting your "scientific" evidence.
