Civil Disturbances in Los Angeles, 1992: History Repeats Itself? Or Do We Repeat History?

This Unit is devoted to a dramatic work inspired by the 1992 protests / riots in Los Angeles in response to the beating of Rodney King by the police in 1991. The actions of the police were videotaped and then aired on CNN. Several of the officers were tried on charges of excessive use of force and were found not guilty. Protests, uprisings, violence, and looting in the streets of LA followed. The author is also the sole performer; the characters she portrays are real people whoin one way or anotherwere involved and /or affected by these events; the words they speak are their own words spoken when they were interviewed by the author.
