Watts California Hope Future Peace

Watts California Hope Future Peace

Black Power

The Watts Uprising took place in Los Angeles, California, between August 11 and August 17, 1965. The rebellion was a community response to systemic racism and police brutality. As the Black Power movement grew during the second half of the 1960s, the Watts Rebellion became a potent symbol of more militant black responses to white supremacy and a renewed hope for urban revitalization in its wake.
