L.A Riots: Rodney King 1991-1992

Around 1991-92 Rodney King, a construction work, was beaten by four police officers while a few others watched on a Los Angeles express way. The officers where trialed and their acquittal, judgment that a person is not guilty of the crime they're being charged of, made the city erupted in excessive violence which killed 50 people and caused $1 billon in damages.
 Rodney didn't want the riots to go on and he wanted everyone to get along.

1967 Newark Riots: Point Of View of The African American Community

Before the riots started the African American community was left out, living in poverty, lack of education and representation, over populated and with racism. They lived like this because they were neglected from jobs/unemployed, inequality and the government wouldn't allow them to live in houses in the suburbs. One of the many factors that triggered the riots was that the people living in the area weren't ready to live with such a race diversity and high population.
