The Contested Murder of Latasha Harlins: Justice, Gender, and the Origins of the LA Riots(Stevenson, BH) Section- Historical fiction Hardcover - S/L# 26353by Brenda Stevenson Helicopters patrolled low over the city, filming blocks of burning cars and buildings, mobs breaking into storefronts, and the vicious beating of truck driver Reginald Denny.

It should be no surprise that such intense anger erupted from something deeper than a single incident.
