LA Times Remembers the Victims of the '92 Riots

The L.A. riots began 20 years ago today, a five day period of fires, looting, and destruction. More than 60 people lost their lives in that chaos, victims were as young as 15 and as old as 87, mostly blacks and latinos. Some were participating in the riots, but many were simply innocent bystanders. The Los Angeles Times has created a chart of the dead on their website with a searchable map and database. It’s a haunting reminder of just how much this city lost during those heartbreaking five days.
