This year marked the 25th anniversary of the L.A. riot and the 50th anniversary of the Newark and Detroit riots — all sparked by incidents of racially biased police actions against blacks, combined with a long history of biased policing and lack of economical and educational opportunities. The Remix looks back at the 1965 Watts riot, one of the first major uprisings to draw the public's attention to racial discrimination and police bias.
