The L.A. County Board of Supervisors condemns the Zoot Suit Riots that targeted Latino, African American and Filipino youths 80 years ago.
the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to condemn the violent attacks by racist mobs on Latino, African American and Filipino youths as “one of Los Angeles’ most shameful moments in history.”
The murder of Jose Diaz in 1942 led to two landmark injustices against Mexican Americans. So why has history forgotten him? Months before the riots, a young man named José Díaz was stabbed to death near a swimming hole that became known as Sleepy Lagoon in southeast L.A. Police, based on what Solis characterized Tuesday as a shoddy investigation and limited evidence, rounded up nearly 300 suspects, mainly Latino youths, in connection with the slaying.
