From Gangsta Rap to Bwy Theater: Cultural Touchstones of the LA Riots, (L-R) Warren Olney, Gary Phillips, Anna Deavere Smith and John Singleton
Host: Warren Olney
Produced by: Anna Scott
On today’s anniversary edition of Which Way, LA?, we look at music, movies and literature that reflected – and in some cases predicted – the 1992 Los Angeles riots. We hear from filmmaker John Singleton, writer and actress Anna Deavere Smith, musicians Ozomatli and others about the cultural touchstones of riots-era Los Angeles.
