there's a war going on and sausage pretty much. on the books will be more than thirty odd years one of the longest one in more than the history of the to. you can always be someone outside is ready to kill me because of where i'm going to go over here if you want.

if good fifteen thousand people killing each other in any other country there would be diplomats there would be mediators it would go to the un. well and good i was born in a downgrade and i'm a die and. i didn't kill my destiny my destination told me. in the southern portion of the richest city in the richest state in america is a cluster of neighborhoods the streets of new boulevards laid out in a grid between the concrete ribbons of freeway. two miles of the west is a pacific coast highway and the beach is that among. five most of the north.

seven miles to the east corner of hollywood and by twenty five miles south there's orange county and disneyland. surrounded by the california dream this region has own legs. and streets erupt at the country's most violent outbreak of civil unrest not once but twice it's also the home of america's two most infamous african-american. rips in the bloods is bloody forty year feud is taken by times as many lives as the long running sectarian conflict in northern ireland and whose devastating body count continues today. but in south los angeles. life wasn't always this way.

in the one nine hundred fifty s. three friends from south l.a. ron byrd become us grew up reaching for their piece of the american dream. the most significant thing was when i went to join the boy scouts good boy scouts of america. my mother taking up to the scout to be good your robert plant where the original bill if one thousand nine hundred thirty three to nine hundred eighty three parked in our neighborhood right there so i go up there to join the boy scouts my mother did not the scout master. it was nice but it tells my mother well i don't know what some parents might object because it was a white troop. to say be prepared to do

a good turn daily the scout is is trustworthy loyal friend. brave clean and reverent that's the boy scouts of america bunch of races. i am with names like the businessmen the gladiators and sloss it's like teenagers began forming their own street plus return. to our neighborhood was situated in an area where we were assigned a designated pollution part of the sixty second to open call slots and bar that's where the name comes from to end the end. evolved into what many consider to be a lady's first modern african american game. but we never called us celtic and that was something that the city and the police that describe the set we were clubs . with drew me to sloths and it was that they mirrored who i was and

it made one feel like one had some status and you had an identity and identity that you didn't have anywhere else. the sense of family there's a sense of acceptance you also have a way to wilson power because now you've got numbers. in those days we give you a point when i. quote you had to be there because everybody else in town knew but you know with. this occurred how good are those things i say these days why do i say i would be cheering here in atlanta we're back to the studio here to whoop your sideburns off. before we. does what we call wolf and oh you know i was go ahead that's what he said and he does you know if you look at for somebody to tell him i'm getting phone. it wasn't really about destroying somebody really

just a competitive day and you know just competing with. this time of produce all the time. my mother. always said you know what did you do just that i didn't do anything you know see people including parents could not believe that the man just after a lot of. young black men in this aside. have always been represented as the most threatening figures possible. their use as being people. will commit crimes. from one hundred fifty to one hundred sixty six.

men to achieve we are. sheep barbara ran a police department like a military unit and the people who bought it brought us word of black residents get up get out the car and. get your hands out but not that good. and so the cops were treating me john black men as though they were enemies as they were in warfare to get it you're. right it was an open secret that one of the tacit duties of the l.a.p.d. was to make sure people were in the right neighborhoods at the right time and alameda boulevard was the white curtain in l.a. you didn't cross alameda for no reason at all east of these away areas linwood

south gate you couldn't go there you had cops they didn't want you the blacks that danes to cross the line were quickly put in place by police officers. one time i was walking down the street on seventy seventh and central and the man said hey you. know i kept walking. got a currency didn't you hear it's called you severed say you but my name's not you so you know get up against the wall in such a song and it look like i've been robbed. as well out of the rubble and she looks just like you. so the idea was to create not only a segregated society but the idea that those of darker a few were in theory and should be treated as such. and after a while you begin to internalize this and you develop

a deep seeded self-hatred. because you see yourself as having almost no value. in a free society i'm walking down a street but he's got the nerve to ask me where you go where you come you know he'll damn good as well going. i mean i'm danielle gamba is where i came from. tell me where you go. people ask me what are you doing here you go anywhere ask anybody else what they do and. you stop an ass going to battlefields in a society where you exist. got to step out of sand and you got the nerve to ask me that all day every day now what do you think that does to me psychologically what does it tell me what message there might be and feel every day so you know understand it in every case feed me is boom for the hatred. every day that's my doc spoon full of hatred. you see. pan it's just

a question of when is this going to erupt and upon whom is it going to erupt i will attack myself and my going to tag my brother you understand i want tax my own image you know. and i am going to eventually attack the cause of my anger and my for. straight. at seven pm on aug eleventh one thousand and sixty five in the corners of one hundred sixteenth and avalon twenty one year old watts resident marquette frye was pulled over by the california highway patrol on suspicion of drunk driving a routine traffic stop until police insisted on him pounding frys car despite being less than two blocks from the home fries mother won't call join the rapidly growing

crowd who along with marquette grew increasingly belligerent of what they felt was the heavy. l.a.p.d. reinforcements were called in the scuffle broke out and fried his mother rena and brother ron were all taken into custody. the squad cars rolled away and the crowd continued to swell as word of the incident swept through the neighborhood when i walked up one hundred fifty two now when i was my quarter from the dartanion as a male what happened is they jumped on market and. we just got more and more upset it was a cumulative thing it was one racist traffic stop two minute. please speak your language. programs and documentaries in arabic it's all here on. reporting from the world's hot spots fifty ip interviews intriguing story for use. in trying. to

find out more visit our big. dog called. hold it. hold it hold it hold it. hold it. i look. at that speed. you. wish i. could. just see. it on the. line i'm

a little. it.

look. i live. admission in three credit patience three times for charges three the arrangement three risk free. types free. loans three broadcast quality video for your media project tax free media oh god r t dot com. fifty over one thousand watts residents are surging up and down the i love

the about one am spike twenty nine arrests and sporadic reports of mandamus the situation was assessed by the l.a.p.d. as being under control the a. lot. going . on tense but relatively quiet. at two pm a meeting was called in a neighborhood rec center simply representatives from various community groups elected officials the l.a.p.d. the media. and even reading from. that we must stay off the streets i think the civil rights drive in america has demonstrated that well be that. the cutting through a call for order only the night before was raised by thousands in the street and i

would take. what you like. this week the negro people down here. to. suck it up we know it's real and you can show it you greater than living it show that it doesn't work it doesn't destroy. it in the process will take the. parents are coming from places where black men are expected to step up the street and say yes to a twelve year old white boy. where black men are lynched with regularity. and so from their perspective los angeles looks wonderful they're certainly aware of the flaws but they recognize it's such an improvement their children however evan very different perspective. we cannot say when. you took.

that. african-americans again filled the streets. but this time over two hundred people and sheriff's office. so here we. are at night when. things in such disarray and we're facing cops in the street. and they went to move to. see so when we moved. and so you're looking at one and. and you're reading the eyes of people in the crowd there's the body language that says it's going to build. a new fired from around the crowd. its own now.

playing. political.

elite. and then it probably has sixteen thousand national guard who don't know the terrain. thanks national guard particular one official explained to engage. i'll be pleased. at that point they went to the other extreme which was the iron fist they aren't. and this leads to a personal free fire zone where people could be shot. making the wrong time at the wrong intersection. or claim by police is that these were looters that were refusing orders to go to. the autopsies clearly show the people were shot in the back.

one has to really question whether or not a human one is worth the bottle of beer a case of beer. that is to say people were being killed for what can retrospect one of the most trivial of offenses. really and in undermine anything because we're talking about desperate people we're talking about people who have nothing to see no hope. this is a crime home along with which we're confronted and of the only thing they understand as farce. that's been the one taboo. is that black people and other the press people in this country are never to use violence to achieve what it is they want.

but this country uses violence whenever it chooses and then it legitimizes the violence. he sent me to masses my life is of no value how can your property. how can the civilization how can any of them or rules or any of the monuments how can any of it be of any value to me. when all of this on a door for me is a rejection of us i'm not allowed to look i'm not allowed to touch not allowed to partake dissipate. all my life i was rejected before i was own and the most reject nothing is open to me. and every time i'm

not on a door and get rejected takes a little something out of it. is. the fact that it took them a ship down from a barbecue trip down in the bay is a testament to revolutionary spirit. and so there was this sense that we have taken a stand and to be a simple message out of the little of. it. is. there's a finger to be buried in represented for us with it it's celebrate our consciousness from sixty five until about seventy one gang activity you know labels all time low because so many young people with joining organizations like the student or the media like the fan prefer to be.

destroyed black pride movement saw the development of dynamic african american organizations committed to instigating change from within. but. it is like a bird in iran the power rather than other gangs were going along side groups like the black panthers and civic programs that range from free breakfasts to neighborhood restoration political activism. to. this new black power structure quickly found itself in the crosshairs of government agencies like the f.b.i. . according to recently declassified documents f.b.i. director j. edgar hoover launched a covert counterintelligence operation against the black panthers. organization he

described as the greatest threat to the internal security of the country. farmers lost in the chapter founder bunchy carter and john huggins were gunned down at a u.c.l.a. black student meeting while black panther founders huey newton and bobby seale faced arrest and lengthy jail sentence. in a few short years many of america's most influential. black leaders. they ran him down and chased him down a lot of them down a murdered everybody and made their body else either go to exile or to lock them up

in a penitentiary and when all that was over we. call the creeps. you see. in the late one nine hundred sixty s. and the black top playgrounds of fremont high school emerged this new order led by south l.a. teenager raymond washington generally but it as the crips founding member. in response number of rival gangs formed an alliance calling themselves bloods moniker adopted by african-american soldiers serving in vietnam. the opposing armies now in place battle flags were raised blue for crips and red for bullets. exactly which set our neighborhood true first place and why you never been up. for the next four decades or encrypt and blood sets would carve the streets of south l.a. into

a grid of rival territories. today these fractured communities are home to five generations of herb and soldiers. really for a while from. us this side is where we come from as a stall model kill or be killed. bush got any type they'd have to come across your body you dot. com call them are still baffled. when i was going back in a while by my good old come up with you come to my living you don't know nobody mother again you got. west side of his bloods on the inside of us is crips just
