Definition(s)

  • The Watts Rebellion of 1965 was the first of a series of violent confrontations between African Americans and the white power structure that took place in the 1960s in the United States. The decade of the 1960s, as a whole, on one level saw the failure of the American dream vis-à-vis integration; on another level, it witnessed the insurgence of black nationalist fervor and agency that was sweeping America's inner cities.
