Share your knowledge, understanding and perceptions at this year's town hall meeting which revisits one of history's most ignored yet controversial racial media stories of our time: the April 29, 1992 riots resulting from the acquittal of the police officers accused of unlawfully beating Rodney King. A black rebellion against police brutality turning into multi-ethnic mob assaults as the city of Angels burned, choked and wailed for three days and nights. 54 people lost their lives, 2,000 suffered injuries, $1 billion in damages, including 2,280 Korean American-owned stores had been looted, burned or destroyed. Some say the flames were fanned by how some "mainstream" mass media covered the story or presented some aspects of it.
