DESCRIPTION:
On the Occasion of the 20th Anniversary of the LA Rebellion: It’s Right to Rebel Against Injustice

A Panel Discussion with:

Erin Aubrey Kaplan, author of Black Talk, Blue Thoughts, and Walking the Color Line. She has covered Black issues as a journalist for 20 years, on the 9 on LA Weekly and 2 as op-ed columnist for the LA Times;



Michael Slate, author of "Shockwaves" and "Aftershocks" - unparalleled coverage of the 1992 LA Rebellion. Regular contributor to Revolution newspaper and host of The Michael Slate Show on KPFK;



Frank Stoltze, award-winning radio journalist who covered the LA rebellion from the streets, former news director at KPFK and currently news reporter for KPCC.

Twenty years ago, April 29, 1992, the city of Los Angeles, the second largest city in the country, erupted in rebellion. Black people, joined by Latinos and people of many nationalities and coming from many different backgrounds, poured into the streets and refused to silently accept the unjust verdict which had just been rendered in the trial of the cops who brutalized Rodney King. The major news anchors in the country sat tight-lipped and nervous while walls of fire raged on the screens behind them. People were shown dancing in the light of those flames, venting their anger, fighting the police whenever and wherever they encountered them.

At some point in the first ferocious hours of the uprising, the authorities decided to pull back many of their armed enforcers from the city’s neighborhoods, concentrating instead on protecting the key centers of power and wealth. As that first day rolled over into three days, the powers mobilized the largest domestic military occupation since the 1960s. Still, people moved with pride and their eyes shined with a mixture of rage and ferocious joy, a joy rooted in the idea that it’s right to rebel against injustice! And the 1992 LA Rebellion became the largest urban rebellion in U.S. history.
