La sera dell'11 agosto 1965, a Los Angeles l'agente bianco della California Highway Patrol Lee Minikus, ferma il ventunenne nero Marquette Frye all'angolo di Avalon Boulevard e 116ma Strada, a Watts, il ghetto nero nel sud di Los Angeles. Il giovane è sospettato di guida in stato di ebbrezza. 

Fermare un ragazzo nero in auto è routine per la polizia di Los Angeles, ma questa volta Frye non si inginocchia sull'asfalto come da lui ci si aspetta. Resiste. Dopo i controlli "di routine", che nel caso di un fermato nero implicano anche una buone dose di botte e manganellate, Frye viene portato al distretto di polizia. Fuori dal distetto di polizia si radunano inizialamente un centinaio di neri, tra cui sono presenti anche il fratello e la madre di Marquette, mostrando foto dell'arrestato. La polizia reagisce in maniera violenta, caricando l'assmbramento e arrestando altre tre persone, tra le quali vi sono i famigliari di Marquette. 

Appena la polizia se ne va con gli arrestati inizia la rivolta più sanguinosa tra quelle dei ghetti americani di quegli anni. Sei giorni di disordini, 34 morti di cui 25 neri, più di 1000 feriti, 40 milioni di dollari di danni e quasi 4000 persone di colore arrestate. Una rivolta che sarà contenuta dalla polizia nel quartiere di Watts, un'area geografica relativamente limitata, caratterizzata da casette monopiano, ma anche dalla presenza di blocchi di case popolari costruite durante la guerra per alloggiare una popolazione nera in espansione (il numero dei neri a Los Angeles raddoppia tra il 1940 e il 1944 e nel 1965 è nove volte più grande): Hacienda Village, Imperial Courts, Jordan Downs, Nickerson Gardens sono i nomi dei progetti di edilizia pubblica che saranno i maggiori focolai della rivolta. 

La rivolta di Watts, ben più di quelle che l'hanno preceduta, è una rivolta giovanile, scandita dalle radio nere, unica espressione mediatica aperta allora alle minoranze. 

Dalle radio venne preso lo slogan che scandì quei giorni e quei riots, "burn baby, burn". 

I sei giorni di sommossa di Watts, segnano uno spartiacque nelle relazioni razziali e nella coscienza dei neri americani. All'inizio è la reazione spontanea alla brutalità dei poliziotti bianchi, poi la faccenda assume connotati del tutto politici. 

Watts segna inoltre il fallimento di Martin Luther King e la nascita del gruppo del Black Panther.

The Watts riots, took place in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles from August 11 to 17, 1965. On August 11, 1965, an African-American motorist was arrested for drunk driving. A roadside argument broke out, and escalated into a fight. The community reacted in outrage, and six days of looting and arson followed. Los Angeles police needed the support of nearly 4,000 members of the California Army National Guard to quell the riots, which resulted in 34 deaths and over $40 million in property damage. The riots were blamed principally on police racism. It was the city's worst unrest until the Rodney King riots of 1992. #wattsriots #policebrutality #racialdiscrimination #blacklivesdidntmatter #powderkeg #stillgoingontoday #themorethingschange #makebeingblackinamericalegal #thingstheydontteachyou https://www.instagram.com/p/CDwN3u8Jioa/?igshid=1a4c5kht3hl5m

L.A. Meekly Episode 79

65-92-20The Watts Uprising and the '92 Riots Another month of 2020, another episode of L.A. Meekly. In viewing what has been going on in our city the past month and looking towards the future we decided to take a look back at two parallels from the city's past: the 1965 Watts Uprising (21:09) and the 1992 Riots following the beating of Rodney King (1:04:31). ATTENTION! We mention in this episode we will be including recordings from people who attended the protests this past month. We got more than expected so we will be releasing that as it's own dedicated episode TOMORROW.

This is not a coincidence| Note the rioters listed on pic number 2|Now is the time to take a moment and research all of the heads in all of our state and government departments and educate ourselves on who is right to lead us. Then we vote in November to kick these people out of office that do not serve and protect our communities.

#LA #Chicago Yesterday April 29, 2017 marked the #25thAnniversary of the #LARiots #LA92 which airs @natgeochannel tonight & put together by #OscarWinners @TJMcKayMartin & @dan_lindsay #JonathanChinn It's HIGHLY recommended viewing which reflects multiple angles of the tragedy w/o opinions or commentary and sadly shows how little progress have come about in the #USA since then. All raw footage including parallel presidential remarks with the #WattsRiots (at River East, Chicago)

Where were you during the 1992 LA Riots? I was in a setting just like this, in shock of what I was viewing on TV.. couldn't believe this was the country I lived in, although a naive child, I knew of what was brewing in the black community with police, I guess I just never thought it would get to this... and now it's 2017... #ArtAboveReality #LosAngeles #LookWhatArtFound #LARiots #police #southcentral #CAAM #community #riots #media #RodneyKing #Koreatown #LatashaHarlins #Watts #WattsRiots #LivingRoom #1990s curated by @naimajoy and @caaminla ..

"I'm not black, I'm OJ!" I had no idea #OJSimpson was such a coon. He never stood up for the #blackcommunity while he was balling as a #runningback 🏈 for #USC (Heisman recipient 1968) and #BuffaloBills. He had the opportunity to speak for our ancestors but unlike #JimBrown, #MuhammadAli, and #Kareemabduljabbar he chose to ignore the racist environment that haunted his family and friends; even though the #WattsRiots wasn't too far from his college campus on 1968; the same year #MLK was assassinated. BTW, OJ is up for parole this year, so should they release him?!?!? Facts: The Watts riots, sometimes referred to as the Watts Rebellion, took place in the Watts neighborhood of #LosAngeles from August 11 to 16, 1965.
