Review # 1 was written on 2016-09-19 00:00:00 Luis Duran I genuinely wish I could make this required reading for ... everyone. Everyone in America at least, especially fellow white people who cannot feel the pain and the tension that was prevalent in 1965, that was prevalent in 1992, that is still prevalent today in 2016. I finished reading this book around the same time news broke that a police officer had shot Terence Crutcher, an unarmed black man whose car was having trouble. It's 2016 and somehow the fact that black people should not be murdered by police is still seen as a political opinion. In Twilight, the people Anna interviews are repeatedly astounded by the fact that their situation is so similar to the Watts Riots nearly 3 decades before. Nearly 3 decades later, I am astounded that so little has changed. The stories in this book are raw and real, and so so important.

Review # 2 was written on 2017-01-26 00:00:00 Robin Hindman If you lived though the King beating and its aftermath, including the Riots. You really need to read this. Smith conducted interviews with various people, and this is the stage production script of those interviews.
