Los Angeles Uprisings: Crash Course Black American History #45
In this episode of Black American History, Clint Smith teaches you about the complicated history of racial tension in South Central Los Angeles. You’ll learn about the Watts Rebellion of 1965, a 6-day uprising in response to police brutality that shaped the landscape of racial tension in southern California for years to come. This tension culminated in two major events -- the murder of Latasha Harlins and the beating of Rodney King in 1991 -- which incited the L.A. Uprisings of 1992.
Clint’s book, How the Word is Passed is available now!
