Re: Los Angeles Riots - Watts Changed in 25 Years? Book Questions

Thank you for taking the time to review and answer some questions about your feelings on what has changed in Los Angeles and America in general since the civil riots of 1992.
  As America faces new challenges and sharp divides, it is a time for people to remember the days past and how we have improved America since the riots of '92 and what still needs to be addressed. What are considered failures since the riots and what can be hailed as successes. A reminder of the property damage to innocent small business owners and the injuries and lives lost as a result of rioting and the need to stay calm and peaceful in the face of today's challenges. It is also a way to draw light upon the issues which continue to plague inner-cities which were swept under the rug once the national and international media interest moved on.
