Los Angeles race riot of 1965  

Definition(s)

  • In 1965, the city of Los Angeles endured one of the worst riots in its history. Although the riot was prompted by a single incident, the predominantly Black area known as Watts was characterized by a widespread perception and feelings of racial isolation, grievance, and discrimination.
