L.A. Race Riots 29/04/92

Los Angeles riots, also known as the Rodney King uprising or the Rodney King riots, were sparked on April 29, 1992 when a predominately white jury acquitted four police officers accused in the videotaped beating of black motorist Rodney King, after he fled from police.
Thousands of people in Los Angeles joined in what has often been characterized as a race riot involving acts of law-breaking compounded by existing racial tensions, including looting, assault, arson and murder.
In all, 53 people died during the riots. In the Korean American community, the riots are known as Sa-I-Gu (사이구), Korean for "4/29," or April 29.

Vincent Chin...

Vincent Chin (1955 – June 23, 1982) was a Chinese American industrial draftsman murdered in 1982 in the United States, in the Detroit, Michigan enclave of Highland Park by two white autoworkers (Ron Ebens, Micheal Nitz).
Ebens and Nitz were convicted in a county court for manslaughter, after a plea bargain brought the charges down from second-degree murder. They served no jail time, were given three years probation, fined $3,000 and ordered to pay $780.00 in court costs.
