L.A. Riots: An Interview 20 Years Later

Posted by John T. Spencer ⋅ April 27, 2012 ⋅ 2 Comments

My good friend Javier Lucero (@mrlucero82) was a nine year old child during the L.A. Riots twenty years ago. I interviewed him about his experiences as a child and what that means for him as a teacher dedicated to social justice. The interview takes place in a car, so there’s sort-of a third character of the city in the background.

I can’t get it to post here, but you can get it on my blog.

Have you read Smoky Night, by Eve Bunting? Picture book about the riots – I love the way it tells the story.
