Six days of rioting in a Negro
section of Los Angeles...
:00:51
left behind scenes reminiscent
of war-torn cities.
:00:54
More than
a hundred square blocks...
:00:56
were decimated
by fire and looters.
:00:58
Civil rights leaders
were quick to deplore...
:01:00
the unbridled lawlessness...
:01:02
and Martin Luther King vowed
to do all in his power...
:01:05
to prevent a reoccurrence
in Los Angeles or anywhere.
