  1. Letters: A story of hope from the L.A. riots

    Re "An intersection's forgotten victim quietly moved on," Column, May 6 I, of course, have heard of Reginald Denny. I remember being absolutely horrified at his senseless beating. It was a scene straight out of a horror movie, and to me, it was akin to...

  5. Rodney King, 20 years after L.A.'s riots

    In 21 years, his name has appeared in the Los Angeles Times on more than 7,000 occasions. Sometimes it's as himself, Rodney King, the victim of now-fabled LAPD abuse the world got to see, the plaintiff in a civil lawsuit, the hapless guy getting stopped yet again on some speeding or DUI beef, the man on the celebrity rehab show. And sometimes it's as "Rodney King," the accidental symbol and the rallying cry on police abuse issues. Some of the biggest institutions in Southern California — the Los Angeles Police Department, the city itself — were changed because of the beating King took in 1991 and the beating the city took in 1992 in the riots that followed the acquittal of the officers charged in his beating. Has the man himself changed? On the 20th anniversary of the riots, his book, "The Riot Within,"' written with Lawrence J. Spagnola, is letting us, and King himself, find out.

  9. Artists, actors creatively reengage with '92 L.A. riots, 'Twilight'

    When Anna Deavere Smith first staged her one-woman docu-play "Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992," a myopic journalist pointedly asked her, "Don't you think your work will have a brief shelf life?"
    When Anna Deavere Smith first staged her one-woman docu-play "Twilight: Los Angeles, 1992," a myopic journalist pointedly asked her, "Don't you think your work will have a brief shelf life?" Two decades later, the answer is "in fact, no," Smith said by...

  11. Newton: The night the LAPD failed

    The Los Angeles riots represented the culmination of many failures: the failure to provide hope for young people; the failure to supply education and jobs in the numbers that would stabilize communities; the failure to engage those communities in their own protection instead of relying on harsh and coercive law enforcement.

  15. For LAPD's chief, a transformation

    In 1992, I was a young Los Angeles Police Department sergeant assigned to the Internal Affairs Division and had just returned home after a long shift only to see on television the Florence and Normandie assaults, the beating of Reginald Denny and fires spreading all over the city. I was stunned at the absence of any response by my beloved LAPD. I quickly got into my personal car and drove westbound into a sunset that highlighted a city on fire and in crisis.

    HONOLULU — Craig Fujii spent the night of April 29, 1992, in two increasingly chaotic L.A. emergency rooms. On his right temple throbbed a large, ugly lump, striped with swollen veins. His head hurt, he kept saying, over and over. The young...
