A Huey P. Newton Story: Watts Riots
This portion of a companion site to a film about Huey Newton, co-founder and leader of the Black Panther movement, features brief information about the Watts Riots. "On August 11, 1965, Los Angeles's South Central neighborhood of Watts became a scene of the greatest example of racial tension America had seen." It includes newsreel footage.
