begin forming their own st clement's returns to its. credit i'm a wood was situated in an area where we were assigned and designated to smallpox in six years i'm going to call slots and box that's where the name comes from just. shoot shoot shoot shoot. this lawsuit evolved into what many consider to be l a's first modern african. but we never called us self that that was something that the city and the police would describe the scene we were clubs. what drew me to sloths and what 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 wheel some power because now you've got numbers. in those days we give you a no point. to be here because everybody else in town here with. this occurred how good are those things i say these days my dear i say i would be cheering here in atlanta we're back to the city you're here to cure sideburns off. with just what we call wolf and oh you know i was going to him that's what he said and he does you know if you look at the somebody get it. but it wasn't really about destroying somebody really just a competitive day and you know just competing with. his

time and produce all the time. my mother. always said you know what would you do just as i'm doing today you know see people including parents could not believe that the man just after a lot of. young black men in this society have always been represented as the most threatening figures crossed. they're viewed as being people who. will commit crimes. in one nine hundred fifty eight in one thousand nine hundred eighty six the los angeles police department was commanded by chief we are. chief barker ran a police department like

a military unit and the people who boarded brought us were black residents got it all by your hand. get your hand out but i'm not that hurt that you're not and so the cops were treating these young black men as though they were enemies as they were in warfare. 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 there and 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. heard that i can't walk you say you and they ran on the curb jumped out a car and say didn't you hear it's called you a shepherd say you know my name is not you so no get up against a wall in such a soul and it look like i've been robbed. as well out of the rubble and she looks just like you. told so the idea was to create not only a segregated society but the idea that those of god. if you work in syria 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 pole 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 going to help them because where it came from. tell me where you go. people ask you what are you doing here you go anywhere they ask anybody else what they do and. you stop an ass going to but also decide why you exist. going to stay 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 every day speed me a spoon for the hatred. every day that's my doc spoonful the hatred. you see. it's just a question of when is this going to erupt and upon whom is it going to erupt i will attack myself am i going to tag my brother you understand my point attacked my

own image you know i'm going to eventually attack the cops of my anger and my frustration. at seven pm on the sea level one thousand and sixty five in the corners of a hundred sixteenth an awful lot twenty one year old watts resident market fraud was pulled over by the california highway patrol on suspicion of drunk driver. traffic stopped until police insisted on impounding fries despite being less than two blocks from school. mother. join the rapidly growing crowd long with marquette grew increasingly belligerent with what they felt was the heavy handed police response l.a.p.d. reinforcements were called in a scuffle broke out and his mother rena and brother ron were all taken into custody

. the squad cars rolled away but the crowd continue to swell as word of the incident swept through the neighborhood when i woke up one hundred fifty two now with. water from the dark canyons assuming what happened is they jumped on market. we just got more and more said it was a cumulative thing it was one racist traffic stop two minutes. the back.

you know sometimes you see a story and it seems so poorly you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize everything you thought you knew you don't know i'm sorry welcome to the big picture. soon which brightened. soon from the funniest impression.

please please don't top teeth don't come. fifteen or one thousand watts residents are surging up and down up along. about one am spike twenty nine arrest the sporadic reports of mandamus the situation was assessed by the l.a.p.d. has been under control. you're. going. there's the morning dawn tense but relatively quiet. at two pm a meeting was called a neighborhood rec center simply representatives from various community groups elected officials the l.a.p.d. the media. and even mean from i think that we must stay off the streets i think the
