The Watts Riots

From the Paper:

"The City of Los Angeles today is America's melting pot. With a fifth of its population born in another country, it is a place where by the twenty-first century the white populace will be in the minority while its economy will continue to change and transform itself based on national and international business decisions. The purpose of this paper is to discuss the history of Los Angeles with particular emphasis on the city's black community and the district of Watts. The investigation will survey how the city's economic growth affected its development and how the community survives today within the confines of the country's second largest urban region.

Though considered a young city by most standards, Los Angeles has had its share of economic fluctuations which have dramatically shaped and reshaped its urban landscape."
