L.A. Meekly: A Los Angeles History Podcast - A podcast by Daniel Zafran & Greg Gonzalez & the history of Los Angeles

Categories:

Another month of 2020, another episode of L.A. Meekly.  In viewing what has been going on in our city the past month and looking towards the future we decided to take a look back at two parallels from the city's past: the 1965 Watts Uprising (21:09) and the 1992 Riots following the beating of Rodney King (1:04:31).  ATTENTION! We mention in this episode we will be including recordings from people who attended the protests this past month.  We got more than expected so we will be releasing that as it's own dedicated episode TOMORROW.
