1967 AFTER THE WATTS RIOTS
I was 4 a kindergardner : mostly blacks and negro women who had to work and feed there families
at home a home in the watts area became ghetto's
the stench of trash , alley way full of riot burned objects , it rain it seem like every day
the rain put out a lot of fires, store remained closed, due to broken windows , broken locks and very un-safe store mostly teens , would dig for many things that was trashed and damage, shoes , jeans, open hair parlors,
for sales and had taken dress racks to the streets to sale , buy this dress today for $2.00, my mom said those where the good day's we would go shopping in parking lots in black area, early on saturday mornings sometimes i would see so much stuff it was everywhere, may i stay in the car , she said you will miss all this good stuff,
while every store in watts went out of business
most black family would sell the merchandise
themselves at home , on sidewalks, inside of there
................................
homes bedrooms full of clothes, the porch had clothes on hangers, damage and still with tags,
burned, how do you get smoke out of clothes...

Watts, 1965The latent anger seething beneath the surface of America's inner cities boiled over repeatedly in the mid-1960s. In Los Angeles, after a California Highway Patrolmen refused to allow the brother of a man arrested for drunken driving to take the vehicle home, a crowd gathered and quickly morphed into a violent mob. By the time the rioting was over six days later, 34 people had been killed, 1,032 injured, and 3,952 arrested. Strikingly similar events took place in Detroit and Newark in 1967.
