Easy-to-read, compelling text explores the events of March 3, 1991, when a high-speed car chase ended in King’s beating, the significance of the video tape of the beating, the officers’ trials, and the riots that followed their acquittal in May 1992. Key to the discussion is an examination of the racial context of the riots, including preexisting racial tensions in the city.
