UCLA History: Update on Rodney King

We posted the picture above on the blog during the recent 20th anniversary of the LA riots.  It shows students at UCLA gathering in the central plaza area after the Rodney King verdict.  With the death of Rodney King being reported today on the news, you might be interested in the two videos below.  The first is the “get along” interview – which is substantially more than the widely-quoted soundbite.  The second is an interview with King 18 years after the event.
